摘要

The main purpose of this paper is to spread through the academic community the importance and value of artisanal and sustainable techniques. The contents presented were part of a Blended Intensive Program (BIP). Textile materials (e.g., fabric, yarns and staples) were the main working basis. Natural dyeing, surface design on fabrics, felting and weaving were the main techniques explored. This paper it is merely descriptive, as it is mainly concerned with facts and arguments. So, the main aim is to provide information that could be useful for other future textile or fashion contexts. Due to the low number of answers, having into account the number of participants, was only possible to carry out a qualitative analysis of the data. Only a general description of the opinions was carried out. However, students were able to successfully explore different artisanal and sustainable techniques and to create their own products, and, or, experimentations, each with their own personal style. It was concluded that the program could benefit from some improvements regarding the inclusion of more practical exercises and the revision of the number of daily hours. Regarding the originality of this paper, a BIP on a fashion design context as not yet been explored academically. Sharing artisanal and regional techniques and sustainable processes improves social relations and can increase the creativity of the students’ future projects. The ancestral knowledge is not lost, and new generations can understand its value and their potential application on fashion products and on their future designer careers.
