Exhibitions
The first exhibitions of the bamboo pieces took place during the release events of my book
"Cronicas do meu Primeiro Infarto" (Chronicles of my first Heart Attack).
I thought it would help to compose the atmosphere and to give sense to the words.
It was a success!

distant and sophisticated places.

Museum
One of the panels exposed in EXEMPLA was selected to integrate the new collection of the Pinakotec der Modern from Munich - Germany.
The panel with 52 pieces will be exposed starting from September, when the new
headquarters of the museum will be inaugurated.
WorkShops
I've always liked the classroom.
I was a professor for more than 25 years. Teaching how to handle the bamboo has been a
very pleasant and gratifying experience to me.
I love to see the enthusiasm of the participants during each stage of the process.

During the workshop I try to follow what I call 'Basic Steps' that I have specially
developed for it.
Words
I've always writeen technical texts, which were part of my professional activities. However writing about my own experiences allowed me to understand the pleasure involved in it.

"Crônicas do Meu Primeiro Infarto" (Chronicles of my first Heart Attack) was written in the first semester of 1995 and published the following year. The beginning of the history of the bamboo spoons happened at a friend's ranch and it is told in one of the chapters.
