About beeralu lace craft:

Beeralu lace, also known as bobbin lace, was introduced to Sri Lanka by the Portuguese in the 16th century.

Handcrafted using a traditional method involving bobbins, pins, and a padded pillow called a kotta boley, this intricate lace is predominantly made along Sri Lanka’s southern coast, especially in Galle and Matara.

Beeralu lace has become a cherished local craft, passed down through generations and serving as both cultural heritage and livelihood.

Lace making is a skilled technique practiced by local women artisans creating contemporary designs while preserving this timeless tradition.

It is a slow and delicate process taking weeks and months to complete pieces.
