Presentation Abstract
Bobbin lace is a complex textile art that intricately weaves dozens of threads into a single piece. Upon examination, it becomes apparent why bobbin lace is able to be so elaborate while remaining structurally sound. This talk will discuss the group theory structures in bobbin lace by abstracting the textile to build a mathematical model as well as applications in pattern making through enumeration.
