Creative Residency 2013 Catalog
The project Residências Criativas (Creative Residencies) of the Regional Center for Handicrafts focuses on the innovation of the artisanal product, through its reinterpretation and re-functionalization in a perspective of its valorization and adaptation to the current markets.
The second edition of the residence took place in the Handicraft Cooperative of Santa Maria where prototypes of innovative handmade pieces were developed, around the weaving of repasso and retalho.
The designers Joana Dias and Teresa Gameiro together with the Cooperative created new product lines for fashion and home.
