The event at its peek on Sunday.

A few days earlier, together with Janine Braun, building up on the night of the 19th of May.

A few minutes before the opening, arranging the last things.

On the left edge of the table are the results from the workshop Daniela did with the weavers of Casa das Tecedeiras in Janiero da Cima and Bogas do Meio.

Another view on the main table - at the bottom of the photo are the prototypes from Daniela's workshop, on the right side at the middle of the table are the prototypes games made out of schist (slate) stone David has been working on this spring.

The first day, not many visitors, thanks to the super hot weather, during the day. in the evening people start to come out.
The main table - to be used both as forum and for prevention of 'design' products/project from the region of Aldeias do Xisto.


A closer view on the games developed in schist stone - Domino, Tangram and a tower game.
