crafts · Bucos

Wool for mountain life

A blanket, a blanket and a hood respond to different needs: covering, heating and sheltering those who work outdoors. The municipal presentation associates to Bucos the blankets of Barroso, the capuchas of shepherds and quilts, linking wool to pastoral life and weaving. The same source places handicrafts in a daily life in which nearby resources served to make houses, clothing and utensils. It also refers to the passage of many objects of a mainly utilitarian function for decorative uses. Looking at a play is asking what it's made of, what it was for and what place it has today. The Casa da Lã, inaugurated in 2012, gives a place of interpretation to this work. The municipal presentation highlights the possibility of monitoring different tasks performed by Women of Bucos, by marking. It is not just about looking at finished pieces: the gestures and the experience of those who perform them are also part of the heritage. The space chart gathers practical information to prepare the visit.

Vamos experimentar?

  1. Choose a blanket or other fabric you can observe with permission.
  2. Write down material, texture and use; if you do not know the fiber, leave this information unconfirmed.
  3. Compare with the pieces described in Bucos: what changes between dressing, covering a bed and decorating?

It observes from an accessible space, respecting privacy and objects.

Alvite e Passos · irrigation documented in 2008

The water has changed its way

The municipal record of Poça do Monte, raised in 14 April 2008, describes a transformation into Alvite: the channel into natural land was channeled by consorts in 2001. It was about a kilometer and used water from the source of Ribeiro Furado. The register identifies seven consorts and refers to a sharp slope in the initial part. This story helps distinguish the old open channel from pipe conduction. The document does not allow us to conclude what the network is like today, nor does it present a way to walk.

Vamos experimentar?

  1. Split a sheet into two columns: before and after.
  2. Note the change described in the text and the date of the source.
  3. Write a question the document leaves open.

Exploitation of the document, no visit to the real estate.

Gondiães e Vilar de Cunhas · memory and landscape

A house with three granaries

In Casa de Chouzas, three 19th-century granaries join the solarengo building highlighted by the Municipality. The set approximates two functions: inhabit and guard the harvest. Instead of looking only at the main house, it is also worth recognizing the importance of agricultural support constructions. The presentation of Vilar de Cunhas places this heritage in a plateau and mountain landscape, marked by agriculture and pastoral care. The house and the granaries can be read in this work context, without the source detailing the production of each property. The dating of the house is less firm: the municipality presents it as perhaps 19th century, while assigning the granaries to the 19th century. This difference must remain visible. The photo accompanying the reading shows the portal; it does not show the three granaries. The asset reference does not confirm access to the set.

Vamos experimentar?

  1. Look at the photo of the portal and list only the elements you can see.
  2. Compared to the three granaries mentioned in the text: what depends on the written description?
  3. Imagine a caption that distinguishes the frame of the photograph from the remaining patrimonial set.

A proposal to make at your pace, without collecting copies.
