Tenerife: The Paradise Of A Handicraft Lover

Going on a trip to your holidays to Tenerife? If so, don’t let your days go idle by simply relaxing around their white-sand beaches. Yes, Tenerife is world-renowned for its healthy tourism industry. So, why stay at the shore? Get out of the resort and walk along the city’s avenues.

Along the way, your attention may be caught by bazaars that sell baskets, bags, textiles, and other handicrafts. Don’t forget to get some; these handmade handicrafts are the signature marks of talent of the skilled craftsmen of Tenerife.

Tenerife Lace, which is drawn-work embroidery, is the sign of Tenerife craftsmanship. The lace, which is typically made of ordinary table linen, is made by slowly embroidering a stretched piece of cloth that is attached to a wooden frame. Brightly colored threads are then crossed over and wound to create illustrations and patterns. Then each piece of cloth are sewn together to produce larger, distinctively designed pieces of scarves, blankets, bedsheets, and other textiles.

Tenerife is also known for its brilliant cabinetwork, especially at the north of the island. Master craftsmen there skillfully make attractive balconies, cabinet doors, drawers, celosias as well as other wooden furniture. Furthermore, many craftsmen engage in basketmaking. For these products, they use palm leaves or banana-tree fibers.

Pottery is a dynamic industry in Tenerife. Tenerife locals of the past were not used in operating the potter’s wheel and decided to sculpting the clay with their hands. This manual style of sculpting gave their pottery a distinctive look, and this practice still extends until the present.
