Folclore crafts celebrates the natural richness of our materials and the ingenuity of Portuguese people’s know-how.

We learn from unique techniques like the manufacturing process of ‘burel’ (a boiled wool fabric), the know how of handcrafting cork or the exquisite skills of the embroiderers.

5 out of 5 starsWas expecting a darker black. More like a real dark grey. But I am satisfied as I liked this color more. A little thinner than I had hoped for. But that was my fault. The seller is very helpful and nice. Recommend you buy your cork here.

About FolcloreCrafts
Handcrafting the Portuguese soul...
I was a teacher of "grown up" students for 15 years… Instead of needles and embroidery hoops I’ve used formulas and graphics which seemed tough to learn. Soon enough I’ve learned that the fear for what is difficult is a fearless enemy to those who are keen on learning and that the fear is overcome with our mind and heart… With needles as with complex formulas. To challenge the fright of learning what seems hard I pledged myself that the needle doesn’t prick, strongly believing that we can teach ourselves to face the fear, even if it is with needlework….
With the needles and following our traditional embroidery I’ve found out much about Portugal which moved me in every product I’ve shaped.
Discovering Portuguese crafts I came across traditional products that surprised me and encouraged me to reinvent applications for its use.
Soon I met cork and although I cannot say it is mutual, I have a big crush on cork… Then burel came into my life, too... And I continued searching for inspiring Portuguese traditional craft materials.

Years ago I moved from college teaching to yarns and needles. Researching about Portuguese traditional embroidery, I discovered unique materials that inspired me to show our country as an example of diversity, tradition and quality in craft supplies.
