Nesta atividade, o participante aprenderá técnicas de torção para criar padrões geométricos que trarão vida a qualquer tecido. O shibori teve a sua origem no Japão, e surgiu por necessidade entre as classes menos privilegiadas, numa tentativa de embelezarem tecidos feitos de fibras como o cânhamo – a seda era apenas usada por nobres japoneses e o algodão era uma alternativa menos acessível para as massas. Os pigmentos utilizados neste workshop serão ecológicos, e ao participante será introduzido ao processo de tingimento de Índigo, para compreender as especificidades do mesmo e para poder replicar esse conhecimento de forma independente. A criatividade e curiosidade são elementos-chave para a participação neste workshop, que oferecerá ao participante uma infinidade de possibilidades de criação de padrões hipnotizantes. O Shibori tem a capacidade de trazer vida a qualquer tecido, e as possibilidades de criação são infinitas.

In this activity, participants will learn twisting techniques to create geometric patterns that will bring any fabric to life. Shibori originated in Japan and emerged out of necessity among less privileged communities, as a way of embellishing fabrics made from fibres such as hemp — silk was reserved for Japanese nobility, while cotton was a less accessible alternative for the masses. The pigments used in this workshop will be eco-friendly, and participants will be introduced to the Indigo dyeing process, learning about its specific requirements so that they can replicate the process independently. Creativity and curiosity are key elements for taking part in this workshop, which will offer participants endless possibilities for creating mesmerising patterns. Shibori has the ability to bring any fabric to life, and the creative possibilities are endless.

At Eco Life Experience, we believe that the best way to learn is by doing. Our workshops reconnect people with traditional skills, sustainable living, and the simple pleasures that come from creating something with their own hands. Whether it's baking bread, growing food, natural crafts, or exploring Portugal's rural heritage, every experience is designed to inspire a slower, more conscious way of living. Founded by Sofia Fonseca, Eco Life Experience was born from a lifelong love of nature and a desire to help people reconnect with the planet through meaningful, hands-on experiences. After a career in tourism and marketing, Sofia created the project to encourage more sustainable lifestyles by bringing people closer to traditional knowledge, local communities, and the rhythms of nature.
