Yolanda works with palmito, a natural fibre obtained from the central leaves of the palm tree. Traditionally harvested around the feast of Saint John, the leaves are sun-dried and split by hand. Using the traditional braiding technique practised in the Canary Islands for centuries, she creates hats, headpieces, earrings, brooches and other accessories that combine tradition with contemporary design. Her pieces, also crafted with materials such as palm leaves, ceramics and porcelain, show how traditional craftsmanship continues to evolve while remaining true to its roots.

Conchi dyes with cochinilla, a small insect that lives on prickly pear cacti and produces one of the most intense natural red pigments in the world. Depending on whether it is mixed with acidic or alkaline substances, the colour ranges from deep crimson to different shades of red and purple. Specialising in traditional weaving and cochineal dyeing techniques, she works with wool, silk and other fibres, helping to preserve a craft that forms an important part of the Canary Islands’ artisanal heritage.

Estefanía creates rosetas, one of the Canary Islands’ most distinctive forms of needle lace. This delicate handmade lace, crafted on a circular mould from finely interwoven threads, forms an important part of the islands’ artisanal heritage. Although this craft is becoming increasingly rare, it continues to thrive here thanks to the artisans who preserve and pass on the technique from one generation to the next.
