Dyeing with Natural Dyes and Creative Embroidery Workshops

Donde Clara offers Natural Dyes and Creative Embroidery workshops.

In a world dominated by artificiality and mass production, Donde Clara emerges as a timeless haberdashery, where each object is carefully selected to spark the imagination and nurture the creative process. Here, one is immersed in a cozy environment, surrounded by a vast array of materials and tools of natural origin, such as native cottons, hand-spun silks, artisan papers, natural waxes, wools, bulk natural dyes, and many more things to do. things

But Donde Clara is not limited to being a charming store; it is a dynamic space where magic happens. Regular workshops and meetings bring together creative people, giving them the opportunity to learn, discover and reflect on the materials, tools and processes involved in artistic creation. Here, materials are understood to be not just inert objects, but components of complex historical, economic, and sociopolitical narratives. Where Clara seeks to weave a community committed to creative autonomy and a critical look at the tools and materials we use.
