Tenerife Lace, which is drawn-work embroidery, is the signature of Tenerife craftsmanship. The lace, which is typically made of table linen, is constructed by slowly embroidering a stretched piece of cloth that is attached to a wooden frame. pretty, colorful threads are then crossed over and wound to create complex illustrations and patterns. Then the individual pieces of cloth are sewn together to produce larger, distinctively designed pieces of scarves, blankets, bedsheets, and other textiles.

Tenerife is also known for its incredible cabinetwork, especially at the northern end of the region. Professional craftsmen there skillfully produce attractive balconies, cabinet doors, drawers, celosias as well as other pieces of furniture made of wood. Additionally, many engage in basketmaking. For these products, they use palm leaves or banana-tree fibers.

Pottery is also a dynamic industry in Tenerife. Tenerife locals of the past were not used in operating the potter’s wheel and resorted to sculpting the clay with their hands. Manually forming their products gave their pottery an interesting look, and this practice still extends to the present time.
