Casa da Lã

From spinning to weaving: in Bucos, local women keep the stories and skills of wool alive.

Discover this place

Wash, card, spin and weave: before reaching the loom, wool passes through many hands and many gestures. The Casa da Lã, inaugurated in 2012, presents this knowledge of the women of Bucos and integrates the Land Museum of Basto.

The tradition also inspires new pieces. The Museum says that in 2010, Helena Cardoso was invited by the Municipality to work with these women, bringing the artisanal work closer to contemporary creation.

By appointment, the municipal page indicates that it is possible to follow different tasks. Confirm activity and availability before going; the visit does not guarantee a permanent demonstration.
