Taller Puertorriqueño’s Textile Design Workshop

We offer textile workshop intensives focused on natural dyeing, weaving, or traditional mundillo lace-making. Each workshop features a dedicated curriculum tailored to the specific craft, led by experienced artists.

Open to all skill levels, these workshops explore both the techniques and cultural significance of textile design. To ensure accessibility and close the gap in access to arts education and community experience, participants are compensated for their involvement, recognizing their time and contribution while removing financial barriers to participation.
