Founded in 2009, Riera Alta owes its name to a street in Barcelona where owner Cláudia Andrade took the first steps in handicrafts. Thus, you can expect from this space many activities. From the outset it offers various training activities that include not only sewing, but also workshops for jewelry, carton making, fimo, felt, origami, among others. It was precisely in sewing that Riera Alta stood out and was developing its activity and is today a reference studio in Porto. In addition to training, the key activity, you can find here repair services for sewing machines, fabrics and sewing materials to put your learning to work.
