It is recognized worldwide for its beauty and elegance, carrying centuries of tradition and cultural richness. Inspired by the exhibits shown in “Presença Portuguesa na Ásia” and “Japão: Festas e Rituais”, we invite you to learn to make your own kimono – to design the pattern, cut it in the fabric, sew it, and finish it – taking home an exclusive piece that reveals the simplicity of Japanese aesthetics, combining the classic with the contemporary. It is an ideal workshop for beginners in pattern making, for secondary or higher-education students, and for anyone interested in contemporary sewing.
