Papel Pulp Poetry Project
Decorative pieces that are born silently from the urgency to create and produce something handmade. From the interest and new directions of the past, present, future, through the knowledge and crafts of basketry, ceramics, the art of cut paper in Portugal, as well as natural resources. From workshops held, on initiation to ceramics, floral art and algae. From the coexistence and crossing of these knowledges and aesthetic familiarity. From research and visits to the ceramics museum, the Caldas da Rainha Pottery Factory and Óbidos. From the treasure found at a national fair, a unique handcrafted piece of a technique and art on the verge of extinction, the "Verguinha". From this path, a process of experimentation and trials, these pieces are created, in paper pulp, with floral and geometric shapes and in different shades.
