To provide the experience of working with an ancestral and representative fabric of a territory, is the motto of the workshop "Cut and build Burel".

The training will have three stages. First, to know the technical characteristics of Burel, its historical purpose, as well as its geographical and social context. Second, to work with the tools suitable for the proper cut and handling. It is also important to understand the adaptation necessary to the modeling of this specific fabric. Third, to know how to sew, both manually and with a sewing machine, the elements that compose a full piece.

In the process, all students will have the opportunity to choose what they want to create, whether it is an art installation, clothing or a piece of decoration.
​
The workshop will end with a day-long showcase where the students will expose and explain their process and creative choices.
