About Espaço do Artesão
The Espaço do Artesão occupies an area in the center of Miguel Pereira dedicated to the production and display of local handicrafts. The kiosks bring visitors closer to handmade works and to the city's cultural references, in an everyday circulation setting.
Walk through the space looking at the materials, the finishes and the differences between pieces. When the artisans are present, talking about technique and the origin of the work adds more to the visit than a quick pass-through. The offerings on display change depending on the participants and the activity of the day.
The visit should take into account the actual operation of the kiosks. There is no guarantee that all stalls will be open or that a cultural presentation will be taking place. Check the schedule if you want to take part in a specific activity. Photograph people and works only with consent and keep the aisles clear for those using the space, especially during busier periods.
