This two-session beginner’s workshop on embroidery from Terceira is part of a training project run by the Centre for Crafts and Design of the Azores (CADA), which essentially aims to promote and encourage the transmission of traditional Azorean craft know-how and, at the same time, foster innovation and creativity in craft production.
White and pure, Terceira’s embroidery reveals the influence of English and Madeiran embroidery by favouring the Richelieu and satin stitches. Towels, bedsheets, pillowcases, bedspreads and doilies are some of the items that used to make up the bridal trousseau of the elite of Terceira and which are now the main offer of the Azorean textile market with national and international projection.
