The spring workshops are over

The Spring workshops are over

Spring is over and so are the workshops dedicated to teaching how to grow and process textile fibers from the ground: Sheep Shearing, Silk Reeling and Flax growing and processing were taught in Serralves using the fibers grown right on the farm.
It was nice to see some of the goals for the "Saber Fazer em Serralves" program being accomplished: growing the fibers in situ, gathering the right tools and having excellent craftsmen and women to pass along some of their knowledge to people that are genuinely interested. 

And if Spring is the time to grow your fibers, then Autumn will be the time to transform them. So, in a few months time, we'll have more workshops and craftsmen and women to come to Porto and teach their art.

(Although the workshops went really well, I had no time to stop a minute and take decent photos, which is a pity, but that's that....)
