An experience dedicated to embroidery as a form of expression and creation, exploring the relationship between textiles, creativity and the stories that can be told through the pieces.

The weaver Susana Mendez, resident at the Textile Workshop, proposes to teach her art of working wool threads on the handloom by adding natural materials. In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to create a small weaving project using natural fibers and dried flowers.

The experience begins at the emblematic Loulé Market with the choice of fresh products from local producers, serving as a basis to celebrate traditional gastronomy and the Mediterranean Diet. Then, participants gather in the kitchen to learn techniques and prepare, step by step, a menu consisting of mountain salad tiborna, Loulé cherry chicken and carob pie, in a relaxed atmosphere of sharing and discovery. The program ends at the table, where everyone shares and tastes the meal prepared together.

Inspired by the ancient tradition of the ajudadas, in which mutual help and conviviality united the community in the work of the field, this initiative proposes a practical day dedicated to harvesting olives for olive oil and learning the traditional techniques of crushing, shredding and preserving olives.
