The Brewery Industry of the South

In the year 1505, the first European migration invasion was able to culturally transform the society. The purpose of these immigrants, including Vasco da Gama, was to find spices and pearls and to spread the Christian religion, and it took a very short period of time for that situation to become popular. This change in the subject of language, food and clothing had a great impact on the Sinhalese rural tradition living on the coast.
Although the traditions of the caste customs that have been traditionally preserved differ from the Eastern styles, these coastal people showed great love to quickly embrace this Western-style European cultural pig. Primarily religion, then dress, then language, and cultural devices were assimilated into Europeanization in that order. This is how Sri Lanka's brewing industry started.

According to the learned elders who are engaged in Renda art, Biralu Renda art became popular in this country with the arrival of the Portuguese. It gradually became popular with the southern province and in modern times, the southern province is also very popular in the subject of Renda art. This Renda art, which shapes the clothes of these people who live in the coastal region of the low country, was gradually spread to the Kulina generations later.
This renda art, which was created by wives and daughters of poor families, especially from the women's side, later became popular among the upper classes as a model. The time of upper caste women who lived along the coast of the low country is linked with the weaving of this thread. The women of the coastal caste of South Lak are also seen in the historical creations 'Gamperaliya' created by Lester James Peirce and 'Kadulla' created by Dharmasena Pathiraja. It is such a popular industry. Self-made. Of course it was well done.
This Renda art, which is woven with various patterns and carvings, is currently spread in the coastal region from Kaphatara to Matara Dikwella. There are many traditional families that are formed for the purpose of weaving this renda. Daughters and Wives The wives of fishing families also show innate talent in this art of weaving. There are also folklore factors that have been built on this art of Renda, which has been transmitted historically.
Brewery industry in Galle
Also known as Gallu lace, Biralu lace, Portuguese lace, this product has a long history. It was introduced by the Portuguese 600 years ago in the area around Galle and Sri Lanka has acquired a reputation as a major trade center that supplied beer to the world based on the port of Galle.
Renda Biralu weaving has been a traditional industry, but now it has reached a state of extinction. Biralu Renda art is an art that uses advanced design methods. For this purpose, the "Renda Kottaya" pillow made of wood is used.
Its cylindrical shape is lined with paper (known as coir) and is also filled with cloth. The paint pattern is drawn with a pencil on a chart paper and it is made by punching holes in the places to be drawn on a cardboard strip with a pin and it is attached to the previously mentioned cylinder by pins. (See the photos to make it clear.)
Thus, the cardboard is called the stencil. Fix the pins in the appropriate places and wrap the beads around the pins and throw the beads back and forth on the knitting pillow to create a beautiful design. It is wonderful and beautiful. It is a special fact that only the esbisala (mold or stencil) introduced by the Portuguese is still woven from these.
