The handicrafts of Guimarães materialise the memory of certain activities that once formed part of the local industrial panorama. Certain ancestral techniques were perpetuated by handing down knowledge and practices between successive generations of craftsmen, and which are still applied, today, in the creation or reproduction of utilitarian and decorative objects. Knowing how to respect this heritage related to traditional handicrafts, the work developed by A Oficina seeks to raise awareness among the general public about appreciation of artisans' careers and support the recognition of their products, thereby contributing to perpetuation of the ways of making crafts as a heritage legacy for the future.
