Art and sustainability in every thread: meet the loom craft with master artisans Ana and Francis Tejedores

Description

In the forest house El Pilarillo, located in the heart of the Natural Park of the Serras de Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas, is the workshop of Ana and Francis Tejedos, a place recognized for the excellence of their artisanal work. This space, distinguished as the Point of Crafts Interest, is a reference where tradition and sustainability are intertwined in each piece of craft. During this experience, participants will have the opportunity to get to know the art of the fabric, guided by the artisan teachers themselves, Ana and Francis. In particular, it should be noted that Ana has been accredited as a artisan teacher and has been awarded the National Crafts Award. Through a guided tour, you will discover the secrets of the process that transforms 100% organic and biodegradable natural fibres into high quality products. From the choice of materials to the final finish, the artisans will show how they take advantage of each fiber line to avoid generating waste and respect the environment at every step. The use of excellent quality European dyes ensures that each piece is nature-friendly, providing an ethical and sustainable product. At the end of the visit, the participants will be aware of the process of creating a craft product through hand-woven natural fibres, a masterpiece of the textile tradition. This workshop not only preserves a millennial trade, but also invites reflection on the impact of our consumption decisions, assessing quality and durability over quantity.
