Textiles naturales – Natural textiles – Ribeira Sacra – Galicia

Anna Champeney and Lluis Grau´s enchanting, small hand-woven textile and basketry workshops in the tiny hamlet of Cristosende may have the most tranquil location but they are amazingly active, with a full programme of craft courses and activities with guided visits in august.
