Step into the heart of Mallorca's textile legacy with the Tour of the SONMO Textile Studio on March 3, 2025. Nestled on the island, this immersive journey at the Son Moragues studio invites you to witness the full creation process of a textile piece, from raw materials like linen, hemp, cotton, and wool to the finished masterpiece.

It's a hands-on storytelling experience that connects you directly to the island's craftsmanship soul.
Mallorca's textile story is epic: post-French Revolution, artisans flooded the island in the 18th century, turning it into a 19th-century powerhouse exporting fabrics across Europe and America.

Now, SONMO leads the revival, showcasing traditional looms, dye processes using local resources, and innovative designs rooted in history. During the tour, you'll explore interactive stations highlighting each step—spinning, weaving, and finishing—while learning insider tips on sustainable practices that honor Mallorca's past.
Perfect for culture enthusiasts, history buffs, and craft lovers, this tour offers an intimate atmosphere in the authentic studio setting.
