EUROPEAN ARTISTIC CRAFTS DAYS Preserving the Textile Trade

DÍAS EUROPEOS DE LA ARTESANÍA

Education and outreach are fundamental for High Craftsmanship to survive and evolve. For this reason, I joined the European Artistic Crafts Days initiative, a project promoted by Fundesarte and the School of Industrial Organization (EOI) aimed at highlighting the richness and uniqueness of contemporary crafts in Spain and Europe.

During this week dedicated to artisanal creation, I relocated my studio to offer a live, demonstrative masterclass focused on the sculpting of silk flowers. The goal of this demonstration was not merely to show the technique, but to bring the public closer to the rigor, the slowness, and the respect for raw materials that luxury craftsmanship demands. Sharing working procedures openly is an act of transparency and a vindication of the value of handmade creations.

'Tejiendo Emociones' Exhibition.

This educational effort was part of the collective exhibition "Tejiendo Emociones" (Weaving Emotions), held at Teresa Entretejidos' studio. A showcase conceived to foster dialogue on sustainability and contemporary design, where textile art acted as the guiding thread connecting the heritage of the trade with today's audience.
