Workshop: Stitch by Stitch

Discover the centuries-old art of Arraiolos stitch, dating back to the late 15th century, which brings to life the famous Arraiolos rugs, hand-embroidered in wool on jute or cotton canvas.
In the “Stitch by Stitch” workshop, you will have the opportunity to create and take home your own embroidery, inspired by the agricultural crops of Pepe Aromas. Experience the pleasure of hand-stitching every detail, uncover secrets passed down through generations, and bring unique colours and patterns to life.
Beyond technical learning, this activity highlights the importance of tradition, patience and precision in craftsmanship. The Arraiolos stitch is a perfect example of how traditional knowledge is part of cultural identity and must be preserved and passed on to future generations.
