Abstract
The Casa Arte Sacra Fânzeres, located in Fânzeres (Gondomar), is specialized in the artisanal execution of sacred sculpture and furniture. This workshop, founded over fifty years ago, brings together employees who learned this art in a workshop context, as in the past. It also preserves the «traditional know-how» of the arts of wood carving, upholstery and sacred painting, as well as the application of gold leaf and crystal eyes in the images. In addition to the quality of the technical execution, this workshop also articulates with other local «ways of doing», such as goldsmithery, sewing and handcraft embroidery. The aim of this study is to address the materiality of the sacred image before it takes on spirituality in sacred spaces, as an appeal to the senses and transmission of meanings
