Show Do Encaixe Of Chopsticks

The image of the unlikely dance by the Camariñas lacemakers has become one of the icons of Galicia. Since 1991, this Coruña town has hosted the “Mostra do Encaixe de Palillos” during Holy Week, with a proposal halfway between an anthropological exhibition and a modern trade fair. The party lasts for five days. It is the opportunity to learn about this peculiar way of making fabrics that consists of weaving threads on a pillow and a pattern. The rest of the program is completed with the parades, both by established and new designers. There is also a competition for new designers. In recent editions, the exhibition was opened to other artisan manifestations, such as the potters of Buño, silverware, linen or blown glass.
