During this intensive five-day workshop, textiles become a space for play, research, and experimentation where creativity, artisanal craftsmanship, and artistic expression converge.

By working with a variety of materials, textures, and techniques, participants will be encouraged to explore textiles as a living medium, capable of narrating, transforming, and revealing personal creative thought. Each exercise will invite free experimentation, a fresh perspective, and the development of a sensitive relationship with the material.

Through intuitive gestures, visual exploration, and conceptual reflection, the workshop offers an immersion in an open and hybrid creative process, where the boundaries between art, design, and craftsmanship gradually dissolve.
More than just a medium, textiles become a language in their own right: a way to express emotion, a perception of life, and a relationship to the world through material, texture, and form.

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• Develop a personal creative methodology through observation, reflection, writing, drawing, and textile experimentation
• Work with textile materials in an intuitive and experimental way to generate textures, structures, and new material possibilities
• Understand the connections between textile practices, contemporary art, design, and craftsmanship, both technically and conceptually
• Apply textile techniques to different scales, formats, and contexts while developing a personal language
• Present, analyze, and contextualize one’s own creative process through group discussions, curatorial reflection, and the exhibition of one’s work
• Present and discuss one’s approach and experiments in a collaborative setting

Led by textile designer Regina Dejiménez, this workshop offers a sensitive and contemporary exploration of textiles as a space for creation, research, and experimentation.

At the crossroads of art, design, and craft, the workshop invites participants to move beyond the traditional approach to textiles and embrace them as a true visual and sensory language. Through the manipulation of materials, the exploration of textures, drawing, writing, and experimentation with various techniques, each participant will develop a personal relationship with the material and construct a unique creative process.

Regina Dejimenez's approach is based on intuition, observation, and the interplay between manual gesture and artistic reflection. Inspired by living things, the relationships between beings, and the transformations of matter, she guides participants through an open research process where experimentation becomes both a tool for creation and a means of expression.

Throughout the workshop, the exercises will encourage freedom of manipulation, exploration of textile structures, and the discovery of new artistic possibilities. Participants will learn to consider textiles not only as functional materials, but also as a surface for expression, a volume, a texture, and a medium for visual storytelling.

Between artistic exploration, intuitive work, and conceptual reflection, the workshop offers an immersion in a hybrid practice where the boundaries between contemporary art, textile design, and traditional craftsmanship gradually blur.
More than a technique, textiles become a living medium, allowing participants to express their sensibilities, translate their perception of the world, and develop a personal artistic language through matter, texture, and form.
