Bunho Technique Workshop
November 30th, 2024
Saturday | 2pm - 6pm
Price - 65€ (Material included)
Trainer - Manuel Ferreira
Description
Bunho is a natural fiber that grows in marshy areas. This plant is traditionally used in basketry due to its strength, flexibility and durability. The stems of the bunho are harvested, dried and treated for use in making various handicraft products, such as baskets, mats and cushions.
In this beginner's workshop on the bunho technique, you'll explore the use of this natural fiber in basketry, get your hands on the bunho and learn one of the variations of the technique to make a bunho cushion.
Manuel Ferreira, one of the few artisans of the bunho technique in Portugal, will be there to share his knowledge, providing a practical and enriching experience.
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 for the Beginner's Workshop.
Material
All the materials needed for the workshop are included. Knife and tools (needle, razors...)
