Fairs and schools

One way to keep the craft alive is through environmental, crafts and medieval fairs.
I can offer a demonstration of the process of the transformation of wool or other natural fibres like hemp or flax into thread and fabric...
I can give demonstrations in spinning wool or other fibers, traditional weaving or dyeing with natural dyes.
Even carry out experimental workshops related to the trade.
Felt workshops, weaving with wool and wicker, eco printing, natural dyeing.

Dyeing wool

Samples of workshops for schools and fairs.

We offer:

Workshops and courses in learning to create with carded and natural-dyed wool.

The possibility to realize creations with fibers and natural elements of the environment.

The process to elaborate an significant object or utensility for children in an ambience which estimulates creativity and innovation, if possible in the middle of nature itself.

The workshops are possible:

In the classroom.
In the countryside in a country house with a workshop area. Existing the possibility to visit a nearby farm to see the sheapshearing in May-Juny.
Combinating a visit to the castell and bell museum of Os de Balaguer (Montsec), with a workshop in the same village.

+ The aim of the workshops is not so much in its final product but in learning and enjoyment through the process.
