Arte para Amanha
Workshops and Courses.
As Arte Amanha we offer a range of courses and workshops, in which our aim is to pass on the knowledge and skill we gained over many years, for your benefit, growth and to keep rural crafts alive in an ever changing world.
Natural and Synthetic wool dyeing
The dyeing process can be split into natural and synthetic dyeing both of which we use. Our dyeing methods use natural energy, predominantly solar, and in the winter months a wood burning stove. All of the mordants used, which fix the colour to the wool, are also natural.
