Spirit of Creativity
Textile Tours & Workshops

Spirit of Creativity is a small company made up of mainly textile artists who produce their own work and love to take people to enjoy the textiles in countries they know and love. They understand textile lovers don’t only want demonstrations from local artisans - they also want to be taught the techniques themselves! That's why the special feature of our tours is hands-on workshops.
