ARTS & CRAFTS IMMERSION
ARRAIOLOS
WITH SARA RATOLA
September 4th to 7th
About the Craftswoman
Textile Artist, born in 1983 and from Aveiro.
“I am passionate about art and I was lucky enough to have walked barefoot on the ground with my grandparents since I was little. These two aspects that are so important to me, art and land, led me to choose landscape architecture as my training. With the twists and turns that life takes, and how wonderful these twists and turns are, I decided to create A Rendeira. I have not separated myself from art or land, I just combine them in a different way.”
Summary :
Are you familiar with Arraiolos rugs? Apart from the traditional imagery that has been established under these objects, Arraiolos embroidery thrives on its technical specificity, the materials it brings together and the way it represents the Alentejo way of life. On this 4-day Immersion with artist Sara Ratola, you will take a journey through all the dimensions involved in this traditional knowledge: from the wool cycle to the creation of embroidery inspired by the Alentejo landscape, including the dyeing of the threads; no step will be forgotten so that you can strengthen your relationship with this know-how.
