Taller de Cestería Tradicional Algarvía "Empreita de Palma" con Ysaline en Aljezur, Portugal

Wir haben am Workshop bei Ysa teilgenommen und waren begeistert. Von Anfang an haben wir uns sehr willkommen gefühlt. Die Atmosphäre war entspannt und angenehm. Ysa erklärt alles verständlich und mit viel Geduld, so dass wir auch als Anfänger Erfolgserlebnisse hatten. Besonders schön fanden wir, wie sie ihre Begeisterung für das Naturmaterial vermittelt. Ihre eigenen Werke sind inspirierend, und es war toll, von ihr zu lernen. Ein wirklich bereichernder Workshop – absolut empfehlenswert!

Wonderful workshop. Ysa is so knowledgeable and has such a wonderful story to share and before you know it you got from a pile of dried palm fronds to an adorable basket. Highly recommend!

Had a wonderful time with Ysaline. We were warmly greeted with a hug and quickly felt like we were old friends. Ysaline was a great teacher and host and so easy to talk to. She shared details with us of her very interesting life and how she came to learn these talents of traditional basket weaving. We learned about her time and travels in Amazon, locally in Portugal and details about procuring the fronds and then of course, we each made a lovely wee basket. I wish I could return again!

It was incredible to make this workshop.
Ysaline is very professionnel and patient ❤️
She shares her waeving knowledge with authenticity and fun 🌞
I loved it !

What an amazing workshop!
Ysaline is very patient, she explains in a calm and passionate way and has many stories to tell.
Not only did she teach us about the techniques but she also shared her stories about her stay in Brazil and now Portugal where she learned many different original weaving techniques from the locals.
This workshop is more than only weaving with dried leaves or recycled rope. It's also about taking the time to lose yourself into your handwork and to have deep conversations with the other participants.
I definitely recommend it, and believe me I am not the 'patient' type but I still managed to make a really nice little basket with the help of Ysaline.
