I have had the honor of being invited to participate in this Exhibition with my textile works, as well as to carry out a wet felting workshop on the 9th in the morning.
The experience has been magnificent, the organization has been fantastic and I hope that this event will be repeated in successive years.
The summary of this event has been:
The Deputy for Economic Development and Productive Sectors, Sebastián Cañadas, and the president of the Alicante Chamber of Commerce, Juan Riera, have inaugurated an exhibition of crafts from the province at the Provincial Palace, organized by both entities under the motto OUR HISTORY IN HER HANDS.
