This workshop will take place in English, but we will of course help each other with the language when necessary.

The workshop is led by Francesca Piñol, the artist behind A fabric of Landscapes at The Flax Weaving Museum - Hørvævsmuseet - this summer. Francesca Piñol is professor of Textiles at Escola Massana, Art and Design Center, Barcelona.
