RESIST DYEING WORKSHOP IN SÃO PAULO

The workshop RESIST DYEING ON NATURAL FIBERS happened between the twenty frst and twenty fifth of April. Days were intense and production has happened in such a happy way! People seem to have made great discoveries! The intense hours of binding, stitching, folding, clamping and pole wrapping were worth several: "QUE LIIIIIIIIINDO!"

SPRING IS COMING!

Finally spring is coming!
For the past two days I have been able to dry tights outside. A whole bunch of them have been waiting for the final wash for a long time...
