A few shots of Guida while she was weaving her piece for the ‘Intertwined Gestures’ exhibition, which reminded me of other times when I spent more time photographing workshops and their inhabitants, and less time in front of the computer.

It was shearing day for the Saloias of Casal da Freira. As you already know, we like to work in partnership with Marty and Susana O'Connel whenever possible. Perfectly shorn fleeces. Well skirted and sorted, this year with a little help from Guida Fonseca and Pedro. We never get tired of seeing the satisfaction on the producers' faces when they see their animals' wool really valued.

This year we wanted to find a Saloia sheep producer who was aligned with our values and with whom we could collaborate not only in the purchase of wool, but also in other initiatives that we have been developing in favour of Portuguese wool. That producer, Mr António Cardoso from Casal da Freira, came to us, and very well, through Guida's hand.

We've been doing exemplary shearings at the Serralves Foundation with Martin and Susana O'Connell for 10 years now, always with a fantastic audience!
