We invite and encourage attendees to come with an apron.
In Canarian culture and dress, the apron is much more than a decorative accessory: it represents effort, subsistence economy, and the ingenuity of the field woman (the campesina or “maga”).
Although today it is strongly associated with the festive identity of the romerías, historically it had a deeply rooted meaning in island daily life:
Protector of the only textile wealth – In 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries, rural Canarian women did not have large wardrobes; often there was only one clean or quality skirt. The traditional apron was large and broad to cover most of the skirt. Its main meaning was respect for clothing and thrift, serving as an indispensable barrier against wear and dirt from hard field and home work.
Element of dignity and social respect – It was common for campesinas to change only the apron to modify their appearance or receive visits. Wearing a clean apron when leaving home or attending someone at home was a symbol of dignity, neatness, and respect toward others. Even in certain traditional island trades, like dairymen, the use of a white, clean apron was a strict requirement, and its absence could incur fines as a sign of public hygiene neglect.
The “multitool” of grandma – In Canarian collective memory, the apron evokes motherhood and home management. Beyond wearing, it was practically used to:
Wallet and economic sustenance – Many traditional aprons included wide front pockets. In the island’s commercial context, women selling agricultural products or milk used these pockets as the family wallet, where they kept coins and daily earnings safe while working.
Indicator of status and geographic differentiation – With new fabrics at the end of the 19th century, the apron also started to reflect the particular identity of each island or region. While simple cottons were used for daily work, festive or Sunday aprons were ornamented with embroidered lace, trimming, or bicolored tones (such as the blue apron typical of certain La Palma outfits).

In the first phase, a felt capeline will be handmade, forming the textile base of the hat. In the second phase, each piece is blocked on traditional hat blocks using steam, tension, and manual shaping. Finally, each hat is completed by caring for seams, edges, ribbons, and finishes. Felt is one of the oldest known textile techniques. Unlike other fabrics, it does not require a loom: through water, soap, friction, and movement, wool fibers intertwine to form a sturdy, warm, and moldable fabric. Traditional millinery combines this textile knowledge with the blocking craft, using wooden hat blocks, steam, and specific tools to transform the capeline into a finished hat. Today this craft has almost disappeared in Gran Canaria. Lesley Bohncke is the island’s only craftswoman with the official FEDAC craft certificate in millinery, making this course also a chance to transmit and keep alive a rarely seen artisanal knowledge. Lesley Bohncke is a textile artist, craftswoman and milliner specializing in wool and felt. She works at transforming wool through artisanal methods, with special emphasis on Gran Canaria’s local wool, blending research, artistic creation, and the transmission of crafts. She has extensive experience teaching felt and millinery courses for institutions, municipalities, and Canary and European organizations, and leads projects like LanaLAB, focused on researching and promoting local wool and its contemporary possibilities.
