  • Discover Sardinian weaving art: a journey through history, symbols, and ancient traditions

  • Experience the wool processing steps: washing, carding, spinning, and natural dyeing

  • Try the traditional loom: connect with ancient Sardinian textile practices

Embark on a unique journey to the heart of Sardinia, to Villacidro, in the deep south of the island, and discover the thousand-year-old art of Sardinian weaving. You will be able to immerse yourself in the mysterious essence of Sardinia, from its Nuragic era to its more modern influences; the ancient art of weaving originated among people for everyday needs: creating blankets, cloths, and sacks. This unique journey will reveal to you the magical-symbolic and spiritual aspect that links the remote past with the present. During the experience, you will have the opportunity to learn about the different processes involved in the processing of wool: from washing to carding, from spinning to weaving with vegetable dyes. Experiencing weaving on a traditional horizontal loom will be an exciting moment of connection with ancient textile practices, rooted in Sardinian tradition. Take the opportunity to get to know Sardinia authentically by booking your weaving experience in Villacidro.
