29 May | Wool & Wine: Hand-Woven Traditions with Inês Barreiros

While theLAB Porto is rooted in wine, we believe in celebrating all "slow" crafts that honor the land and human patience. On Friday, May 29th, we are stepping away from the vineyards and into the looms of the Dão region and the Serra da Estrela.

The Guest: Inês Barreiros

A graphic designer turned weaver, Inês found her calling in the rhythmic complexity of ancient handlooms. After returning to her roots in the Serra da Estrela, she founded Fio Handmade—a brand built on "memory, time, and intention." For Inês, weaving is a silent language that preserves ancient techniques while celebrating the imperfect beauty of the handmade.

The Event

This will be an intimate, interview-style discussion where we dive into:

• 
  The Journey Back: How the old handlooms guided Inês back to her roots.
  
• 
  The Material: Why wool is an ancestral, "warm" language deeply connected to the Portuguese earth.
  
• 
  The Process: The value of creating slowly in a world that rushes.
  
• The Wine: Your 10€ ticket will include a glass of curated wine to enjoy during the talk.

Limited capacity. Reserve your spot to discover the "hand-woven traditions" that are shaping the future of Portuguese craft.
