Presentation
Clothing is not only an element for dressing up: it is a clear reflection of the society of the moment, a living element, which varies according to fashions. But it is also influenced by other factors, such as social class, climate or type of event, among others. Thus, clothing provides us with clues and helps us to get to know a part of society.
Approach
Didactic workshop on Valencian clothing in which we will learn about the clothes worn by the Valencians, from a historical point of view, through contact with the fabrics used and the different pieces that make them up.
