Participants, using needles and wool, created original felt pieces representing vegetables and fruits, in a celebration of healthy eating through crafts. This initiative is part of an ongoing effort by the Municipality of Vinhais in 2026 to promote the traditional felting technique within the project “Viver Mais e Melhor em Vinhais”.
The aim of these actions is to preserve traditional textile arts, value cultural heritage, and pass on these skills between generations. The local council has promoted various activities, including community training and initiatives with children during the Easter holidays.
It is worth remembering that the Library of Equipment and Materials for Textile Work was inaugurated on September 26, at the Antiga Casa da Música, in partnership with the Saber Fazer project, marking an important moment for the preservation of these arts.
