Beginner's Workshop on the Bunho Technique
Ancient basketry technique
May 6th, 2023
Saturday from 2pm - 6pm
Price - 65€ (Material included)
Trainer - Macheia + Manuel Ferreira
We're bringing a very special basketry technique back to the workshop. The bunho technique is Portuguese and is on the verge of extinction and Macheia has played a fundamental role in the continuation of a technique that unfortunately today has very few artisans practicing it. Iany and Lucrezia from Macheia have received the transfer of know-how from one of the few people still practicing the bunho technique, the craftsman Manuel Ferreira. On May 6, they will come to the workshop and bring the craftsman Manuel Ferreira, the bunho and his tools from Santarém.
In this introductory workshop to the bunho technique, we'll introduce you to the technique, its protagonists and their role as witnesses to the technique's past, present and future. We're going to get our hands on the bunho and learn one of the variants of the technique to build a bunho piece, a cushion.
In this technique we'll be sitting and working on the bun on our laps, so bring comfortable pants that might get dirty.
No previous knowledge is required.
Material
All the necessary materials are included. Knife and tools (needle, razors...)
