The following tools are used: magazines, project models, needles, threads, laces, glues, among other. Each participant is free to propose ideas and create works according to their experience, living and creativity. The project began in 2009, and offered 158 workshops until June/2016, with a weekly audience of 20 people. The handcraft is also an income source.
