Just a century ago hand embroidery was not unusual. Embroidery designs adorned not only garments, household linens, but also beautiful rugs and tapestries were created. Important evidences of this are the tunic of Tutankhamun and the Bayeux tapestry.
 

Today hand embroidery is a disappearing craftsmanship. In former times, women span, weaved and adorned themselves textile crafts at home and those dedicated to religious or festive ceremonies. Nowadays, machines have enabled lower costs of production, our way of life has accelerated and the purposes of recreation have diversified. Embroidery is no longer an essential activity and has become a hobby, sometimes socially unrecognised.

If we want this ancient craft to stay alive, we must bring together tradition and innovation, adapting traditional techniques to the needs and today’s tastes. So, combining types and sizes of stitches along with colours, we will create tapestries full of depth and rhythm. We are artists, we have only changed the paint for the wool, the canvas for the fabric. The needle is our brush.
