The festival
Just like last year, it was a very intense day fully spent teaching spinning, weaving and basketry. Although we ended up extremely tired, we all agreed that it is very important to open this kind of activities to the general public, that for the most part, never did anything of the kind.
Saber Fazer at the Fall Festival - September 27, 2015
Save the date: sunday, the 27th of September, Saber Fazer will once again be present with two activities at the Festa de Outono in Serralves.
The Flax field in Serralves
I haven't even talked about sowing the flax, that we did last April, but by now the flax has flowered and the seed capsules are maturing. I'll get around to talk about it, but I needed some time to organize information, take care of silkworms and plan a few more things I haven't talked about yet, and all along the flax was growing.
Shearing is coming!
We're almost in May and shearing season has been open for a while now, but in Serralves, the first time the Bordaleiras-Entre-Douro-e-Minho sheep will be sheared in the farm will be in the next saturday, the 9th of May, starting at 11h in the morning.
It was a festival
And this is how it was in Serralves, at the Festa de Outono, last sunday. I think that it was the first time that any of us, both in the textile and basket weaving activities, had to deal with so many people at once.
