In the world of arts, there is something magical in the way a technique becomes more than a skill, but a personal expression. Meet Andréia, one of the talented artisans at Mil Linhas, whose journey in the art of macramé is as enchanting as her creations.
“I'm Andréia, and my story with macramé began with Mirian, my inspiring teacher. Since December 2020, I have had the joy of joining the Mil Linhas family of artisans. Although I am always exploring other techniques, it is in macramé that I find my true artistic essence.”
It's fascinating to see how each knot and bow in macramé tells a unique story. For Andreia, this art goes beyond intertwined fibers; it is an expression of itself. She not only improves her skills through the support of Mil Linhas' creative time, but she is also inspired by other artisans, creating an environment of learning and mutual growth.
Macramé has a rich history in Brazil, finding its place in national culture and art. Its ancestral tradition, which dates back to indigenous and African peoples, has gained new life in the country, adapting to modern times without losing its essence. Today, macramé is not just a technique, but an art form that echoes tradition and innovation.
Just as macramé intertwines threads to create beauty, Andreia finds similarity in her passion for cinema. Both allow her to blend into complex narratives, weaving stories and emotions through different forms of expression.
Mil Linhas is a space where the passion for macramé meets the creativity of artisans like Andreia, resulting in unique and exciting pieces. It is more than a technique; it is a link between tradition and contemporary times, between talented artisans and their shared love of macramé.
