About

Hi!!! My name is Cristina and I am the person behind Tenguerengue. 
Crafts are my passion but my absolute love is crochet.
Welcome to my site! 😊

Since I can remember, nothing gives me more pleasure than making something with my hands. Actually, to give away my makes can be even better.
I am the one in the family that loves to organise surprise parties, design fun posters, invitations, party decorations... If you can cut out coloured papers and glue it to invitations, why print them??? I don’t like to miss all that fun!!
I was that happy with paper, scissors and glue when a friend taught me how to crochet back in 2008. Since then my passion about crochet and textiles in general went completely crazy. It has become for me a natural way to express my creativity. Also the fact that you can literally put your project in your pocket and enjoy it anywhere makes it even cooler, isn’t it?
My endless passion about crochet, textiles and paper inspired me to create Tenguerengue Art Works as a way to share the joy of crafts with others.

I create and sell unique crochet kits to inspire people to create cute projects with my kits. Inside the box you will find anything you need to produce the chosen design. My product range includes options for all levels of ability.

Over time, I certified as a Crochet Instructor by Craft Yarn Council and started to facilitate crochet Workshops and Courses. Sharing the skill gives me immense joy because I feel that around crochet, a lot of conversations start. I teach in several venues in Bristol area.

I’m happily based in Bristol. You can find me in craft markets all around during Christmas or maybe taking part of pop-up shops as well.

If you love a brick and mortar shop, my crochet kits are stocked
at Prior Shop and Paper Plane Shop.
