Projects
Over the years, we have supported many clients and managed education, research, strategy and design projects in varied creative fields.
A common denominator across all of our projects, is our passion to create value through deep dedication to art, creativity, sustainability and responsible production.

Capacity Building for the Serralves Foundation
In 2023, we launched a training project for technicians from the Serralves Park education service to create new activities for different audiences, taking advantage of the Park's existing resources. We organised training sessions on wool processing, weaving and shearing to use wool from the Park's flock and integrate wool processing into the annual educational activities. Once again, we planted flax and organised a long-form linen course from seed to yarn.

Planning and technical advice for a tourism unit located in Guimarães, Portugal. In this project, we supported Quinta das Carpas in developing a concept to install an agroecological educational unit dedicated to producing natural textile fibres.
