The workshop is designed for both beginners and those wishing to deepen their textile practice in an immersive and supportive environment.

In addition to studio sessions, the course includes guided visits to textile museums, artisan spaces, and cultural sites throughout Mexico City, offering participants the opportunity to study historical and contemporary textile traditions firsthand.
