From Belmonte, we drove to Covilha to see the New Hand Lab. The drive to Covilha was more difficult due to narrow, one-way roads. We finally arrived at 14:15, a few minutes ahead of its opening hours (14:30 - 17:00)
We waited for the New Hand Lab to open. When it did, a person who worked there let us in and showed us all of the studios where local artists were in residence. The studio is re-using the warehouses that housed old textile manufacturing machines. We saw many old typewriters, calculators, and original textile machines repurposed for creating art.
We learned much more about using wool to make textiles and the various machines processing wool. Of all the New Hand Lab exhibits we saw, we liked the VW Beetle the best.
