Lisbon, Portugal

"Mix and match, materials and techniques, it is all a big game of creativity."

Rita studied equipment design and sculpture at the Lisbon School of Fine Arts. She worked for 8 years in the educational department of the Berardo Museum, where she gave guided tours and developed activities for the general public and schools.

In parallel with all this, in 2012 she decided to create a project where she could explore craft techniques. It all started with crochet but soon it came bigger and get to embroidery and ceramics.

Rita works as a freelancer with some art and design studios, and as a sculptor. Today she develops several textile projects, always trying to combine techniques and unlikely materials such as ceramics and crochet or classic embroidery with punch needle.
