Location

The 'Atelier ferro quente' is located in the picturesque town of Góis, a municipality nestled in the heart of the Coimbra district. Specifically situated in an area known as São Paulo, within the village of Góis itself, this space benefits from the serene and natural surroundings of the region. Góis is characterized by its lush green landscape, traversed by rivers and streams that wind through the hills, offering an idyllic setting that is reflected in the tranquil and inspiring atmosphere of the place. The atelier's location, integrated into the urban fabric of the town, allows visitors to absorb the authentic and genuine atmosphere of inland Portugal.

The Artistic Expression of Iron

The name 'Atelier ferro quente' immediately suggests its artistic and artisanal vocation, focusing on the malleability and transformation of metal. This space is a meeting point between tradition and contemporaneity, where iron is worked and molded to create unique pieces. Visitors have the opportunity to contemplate works that reveal mastery in the forging and manipulation of this robust material, which, in the hands of the artist, acquires organic, symbolic, or abstract forms. Each exhibited object narrates the story of its creation, from the intense heat of the forge to the final detail, inviting a close appreciation of the technique and artistic vision.

Culture and Creative Environment

More than a mere exhibition space, 'Atelier ferro quente' embodies an environment of creation and cultural exchange. The spirit of Góis, with its heritage of crafts and its deep connection to nature, seems to infuse the very pieces that come to life here. It is a place that celebrates art as a dynamic and continuous process, where inspiration stems both from the ancient practice of metalworking and from the austere and timeless beauty of the surrounding landscape. Visitors to the atelier are invited to immerse themselves in a space where the legacy of craftsmanship finds new expressions, enriching the cultural landscape of the region.
