President Myriam Spiteri Debono, welcomed to San Anton Palace a group of women, the majority of whom were mostly Gozitan, together with a number of Maltese women, attending classes led by Marian Buttigieg to learn the traditional art of Maltese lace-making as part of the Life Long Learning programme.

In her address, the President highlighted the importance of preserving the traditions that form part of Malta’s identity, while praising the dedication of those passing these valuable skills on to future generations.

During the visit, the President was presented with a small handmade lace piece created by Marian Buttigieg, along with a donation in aid of the Malta Community Chest Fund.
