In December I was accepted to a ‘call for creative entrepreneurs’ supported by Magallanes_CC, ArteriaLab and a network of creative spaces in rural Alentejo.

My project was matched with the association CACO, who represents various artisan in the province of Odemira. With them I will be learning about textile dyeing and basket weaving which will be integrated in the collection of sweaters I am working on.
