Portuguese Embroidery and Feltwork
The region of Nisa, in the northern part of Portugal, is rich in both handmade pottery felt and embroidery work.
The felt and embroidered work is done using only the highest quality felt, made exclusively to the artisan’s specification.
Felt of one color is laid over one or more of a different color, and the design is sewn in. The excess material is then cut away, leaving the pattern of contrasting colors. .
The women who produce these felt pieces must have great skill and patience. The woman on the right, Dona Dinis, is considered to the one of the finest felt/embroidery artists in Portugal.
