Learning with beautiful things
We often say it’s easier to learn with beautiful things. Through all the educational work we've been doing, we felt there were some missing pieces you could hang up and learn from. So we created and illustrated these two posters, one dedicated to Wool and the other to Natural Dyeing, to inspire those who already love these subjects or to spark the curiosity of those who know nothing about them yet. Perfect for your home, school, studio, or wherever you like.
Both posters are available in Portuguese and English through our online shop.

EDUCATING FOR SABER-FAZER SINCE 2011
What is Saber Fazer?
Founded in 2011, SABER FAZER is a project coordinated by Alice Bernardo and Miguel Barbot, dedicated to researching, promoting, and disseminating artisanal and semi-industrial production techniques in Portugal, with a focus on natural textile fibers and farm-to-cloth production.
We are an educational and editorial project whose main objective is to ensure the transfer of rigorous technical knowledge, educating on the fundamental issues surrounding this topic, related to environmental, social, and economic sustainability. Smaller and local production scales are increasingly relevant, and it is urgent to renew and disseminate the knowledge that allows for the creation of sustainable production and collaboration chains. Our work focuses on local genetic resources and small- and medium-scale sustainable production processes.
Saber Fazer is a DGERT certified training organization.
