FEATURED

“Sheep of Portugal” Poster

We created the “Sheep of Portugal” poster to raise awareness and highlight each of our native sheep breeds, celebrating the diversity of Portuguese wool. Hand-illustrated, this double-sided poster brings together essential information about each breed, making it an educational resource for anyone who wants to learn more about the country’s wool-producing heritage.
