Surpreendida, maravilhada e preocupada com a arte da Tapeçaria de #Portalegre. (Museu imperdível!)
Incrível que ainda não seja património imaterial classificado em Portugal. Uma admiração imensa pelas desenhadoras e tecelãs que interpretam os desenhos/pinturas e os transpõe minuciosamente para uma tapeçaria de lã com pormenores incríveis. Bravas!
(A fábrica está em apuros por falta de encomendas 😥)

I spent 3 hours with teacher Evita who studies Masters' in Maori weaving, but all of us had to finish our kete at home.

We learnt how to extract fiber of the harakeke bush first and then weaved a "fishnet" pattern basket to carry groceries.

Process of harvesting harakeke leaves requires to follow tikanga (protocols) and process of weaving brings people together.

Can't wait to weave more!

A picture from last years photography class - experimenting with aperture. This was my favorite, with a shallow depth of field.
