Listen "S8, Ep 53 - Elena Goded Rimbaud: ÁBBATTE - reviving Spain’s textile heritage"
Episode Synopsis
Judy enters the monastic world of ÁBBATTE, where traditional Spanish artisanal techniques are used to create exquisite handwoven textiles. Project founder Elena Goded Rimbaud talks about transforming the ruins of a 13th century monastery in Segovia into the ÁBBATTE workshop and reviving the region’s handmade textile traditions there. Then, speaking from ÁBBATTE’s Madrid store, Elena describes the pieces they make - alpaca wool throws, textured carpets and silk scarves - in colours rendered with botanic dyes from the magical ÁBBATTE garden. Working alongside her art director daughter, Elena says ÁBBATTE strives to create textiles with a contemporary aesthetic while being grounded in the techniques of the past.Show Noteshttps://www.abbatte.com@abbatte_ // Hosted by Judy Stewart // Translation by Marcella EchevarriaProduced by Caroline Hughes for Feast Collective// Sound Engineer: Jason Millhouse// Instagram: @_unpaused // Website: www.unpaused.net
