Embroidery of Castelo Branco

Undoubtedly an embroidery full of life, color, brightness and with a very own aesthetic that everyone who looks carefully at the motives is invited to discover all the symbolism contained therein.

I lose myself admiring the hands that take a piece of linen and with needle and silk thread fill the spaces either with the Tree of Life, birds, carnations, roses, lilies, pomegranates or hearts. They are skilled hands and people who love what they do.

It is a job that requires patience, I like the art of embroidering the silk thread with its complex points, with precision and perfection but only in this way is it possible to get a good job.

I tried but I admit that it is not an art me What apparently seems easy turns out to be difficult and time consuming

For many people perhaps a little out of fashion, but the famous Castelo Branco Embroidery are unique and valuable pieces for their originality combined with their artistic expression.

Today, in addition to traditional quilts, cushions and paintings, it is possible to find Albicastrenses Embroidery in garments, fashion accessories or represented on sidewalks, leather, furniture, etc

I recommend a visit to the interpretation center of Castelo Branco Embroidery.
