Textile Design Residencies at the M\u00e9rtola Weaving Workshop<\/p>\n
Within the scope of the partnership that M\u00e9rtola City Council maintains with the Association Passa Ao Futuro and Cooperativa Oficina de Tecelagem (Weaving Workshop Cooperative), the residency ALENTEJO HERITAGE TEXTILES took place during the months of March and April, connecting the weavers of the M\u00e9rtola Weaving Workshop with designers Emma Pucci and Valentina Pilia from Flores Textile Studio, as well as maker Daniel Heer and artist Cian McConn from the Machen Colletive.
\nThese Residencies have the objective of connecting the mastery of our weavers to the innovative design of new creators, thus valuing the raw material (wool) and its artisanal processing, from the production of the thread to the weaving of the Mantas de M\u00e9rtola (M\u00e9rtola blankets).
\nThis Residency is part of the Creative wear + Project, co-funded by the INTERREG MED programme, in partnership with the Arteria Lab of the University of \u00c9vora and the Museo del Tessuto di Prato in Italy. The results will be exhibited at the Museo del Tessuto, in Prato (Italy) in June of 2022.<\/p>\n
