A creative studio focused on research and curating Art and Crafts handmade
in Portugal
Amor é cego (love is blind)
To celebrate its 119th anniversary, Livraria Lello has chosen to honour the book Amor de Perdição by Camilo Castelo Branco and invited me to decorate its windows until April 2025.
Studio visits
In constant evolution, the studio presents a selection of pieces available for sale. Visits by appointment.
curating
Whether curating an exhibition, sourcing objects, collaborating with artists to create new pieces, I love to research all around Portugal and celebrate our singular and diverse heritage. I can also assemble antique crafts collections to respond to a specific request.
Pop-ups
Twice a year I open the doors of my studio in Campo de Ourique, Lisbon, to present thematic pop-ups. I like to begin with a subject and, piece by piece, collect a set of objects.
COLEÇÕES · FELIPA ALMEIDA BOOK
Our aim in this publication is not to suggest yet another interpretation of the collecting phenomenon.
Our proposal is less ambitious but, we hope, not irrelevant: we want to contribute to the knowledge of private collections in the Portuguese context, especially those centred around popular art and handicrafts.
The first book in this series dedicated to private collectors of popular art focuses on Felipa Almeida’s own collection, which ultimately prompted this project.
