Beginner's Workshop on the Bunho Technique

Beginner's Workshop on the Bunho Technique

Ancient basketry technique

October 9th, 2021
Saturday from 2pm - 6pm
Price - 55€ (Material included)
Trainer - Macheia + Manuel Ferreira

Finally, we're bringing a very special basketry technique 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. After selling out the workshop on October 16, they are also coming to the workshop on October 9 and are bringing Manuel Ferreira, the bunho and his tools from Santarém.

In this workshop on the bunho technique, we offer a chance to get to know the technique, its protagonists and their role as witnesses to the technique's past, present and future. We're going to get our hands dirty and learn one of the variants of the technique to make a bunho piece, a cushion.

No previous knowledge is required.
