Abstract This paper explores the lace design pedagogy that developed in Nottingham during the first half of the 20th century. It draws on teaching material and student work collected in the Nottingham Trent University Lace Archive and examines three sets of material in particular: portfolios of student drawing; a collection of lace draughts composed for teaching purposes; and student-designed lace samples. These materials are records of a learning process influenced by both a national education system and the local lace industry. While the former was concerned to reproduce a canon of ornamentation obeying certain design principles, the latter needed designers possessing specific technical skills and the ability to copy and adapt existing designs suitable for mass production and consumption. Lace design pedagogy encompassed the “principles’ of design, the “technique” of design, and the “business” of design. In each of these fields, students learnt by copying, so that copying was, to some extent, both the method and the outcome of Nottingham lace design education.

原则与窃取：诺丁汉蕾丝设计教学法

摘要 本文探讨了 20 世纪上半叶在诺丁汉发展起来的花边设计教学法。它借鉴了在诺丁汉特伦特大学花边档案馆收集的教材和学生作品，并特别检查了三套材料：学生绘画作品集；为教学目的而创作的花边草稿集；和学生设计的花边样品。这些材料记录了受国家教育系统和当地蕾丝行业影响的学习过程。前者关注的是再现符合某些设计原则的经典装饰品，而后者则需要设计师拥有特定的技术技能以及复制和改编适合大规模生产和消费的现有设计的能力。花边设计教学法涵盖了设计的“原则”、设计的“技术”和设计的“业务”。在这些领域中的每一个领域，学生都是通过临摹来学习的，因此临摹在某种程度上既是诺丁汉花边设计教育的方法也是结果。
