The time we brought Teresa to the North to teach us about silk

The images in this video were captured back in 2016, in the day we brought Teresa Frade to teach a silk workshop in Serralves.
In the video, Teresa makes a short demonstration of her silk reeling process, which is the way it is done traditionally in Portugal. The conditions in which the video was made were not ideal. The water was not heating up properly and the background noise doesn't allow us to ear the swift turn and her sayings while she works. But still, I know that this kind of documents should be done when the opportunity arises. It's very rare that I have someone with me to film and this day I was lucky to have João to film and edit the final video, later.

The following year, in 2017, we brought her to the North again. This time it was in the Textile Industry Museum in Famalicão that we had the opportunity to see her work using her original equipment and the traditional fire. Those who came to the afternoon workshop, also had the opportunity to learn to reel cocoons personally with her.
