What type of textiles do you create?
Our workshop specialises in traditional weaving techniques. We make ornamental tapestries and we create two different collections a year of scarves and shawls, all made with manual looms, as well as fabrics with botanical prints, natural dye, felt and Shibori technique.
Do you have a mission?
My goal is to create a dialogue between tradition and innovation, where traditional expression meets a contemporary concept. I like to teach and share ideas, the relationship with my students and their curiosity, creativity and enthusiasm is extremely rewarding.

What does the loom mean for you?
It is my ally, the tool that allows me to accomplish my ideas. The process of weaving is like a conversation, an idea slowly coming to life exactly the way you had pictured it. Each product has its own identity that is revealed while making, and through the gesture of making it.
Do you perceive your craft as endangered?
I would not say that; I can see a growing interest in learning and combining traditional craft with design. Take tapestries, the expression of contemporary textiles, that can be used just like other mediums to communicate feelings and an artistic vision.
