STOP WASTING AND START CREATING: THE WORLD OF VANESSA BARRAGÃO
In sunny Albufeira, on the Algarve coast of Portugal, Vanessa Barragão's studio stands as a welcoming, artistic stronghold of beauty, warmth, heritage and sustainability. Using ancestral techniques, Vanessa creates soft, cozy and colorful art using textile waste, which speaks about the importance of preserving traditional crafts and advocating for environmental consciousness through upcycling.
During her master's degree, Barragão created her first wool yarn collection entirely from discarded sheep's wool. This was when her love for wool, nature and upcycling centuries-old textile techniques was born.
