Podcasts about o wool

Hoje vou estar à conversa com o Vasco Mendes, realizador e vencedor do Prémio Acesso Cultura - Mickaella Dantas 2024 pelo seu documentário sobre o projeto WOOL + | Arte Urbana mais acessível. Formado na Covilhã, Vasco é conhecido pela sua sensibilidade e pelos projetos de construção comunitária que realiza. O WOOL + é uma iniciativa dedicada a tornar a arte urbana mais inclusiva, promovendo acessibilidade e participação de toda a comunidade, incluindo pessoas com deficiência. Este projeto valoriza a arte como um meio de integração e expressão para todos. Nascido no Porto em 1987, Vasco cruza música, ritmo, arquitetura e cinema nos seus trabalhos. Criou videoclipes para bandas como Clã, Capicua e White Haus, e produz documentários focados na música, cidade e pessoas. Já colaborou com as Capitais Europeias da Cultura de Guimarães e Malta e filmou em diversos países, trazendo uma visão global ao seu trabalho.

Today on the show I have Jocelyn Tunney, the owner and mastermind behind O-Wool – line of completely organic and sustainable yarn. Every thing about her yarns is carefully thought out – from the fiber, to the mill, dye house and even the man behind winding each skein. She has an amazing company I’m excited to learn more about today.    For show notes visit: https://knitcollage.com/blogs/podcast/32
