Exhibition: Saar Snoek Solo Show – Felted Headwear and Sculptures – Portugal

A young model wearing a unique hat featuring green felt and an eye, promoting the temporary exhibition by artist Saar Snoek, titled 'Living Felt: A Manifesto', at Museu Chapearia from May 16 to September 27, 2026.

The solo show ‘Living Felt: a Manifesto’ of feltmaker, milliner, and painter Saar Snoek features her explorations of 30 hats, sculptural works in felt, and her World of WearableArt (WOW) piece ‘Wild Things’. She creates her work using a variety of fascinating techniques – many of them felting!

“I made these to forget there is a ‘right way’ to make felt. Everything you don’t know is experimental, everything you know technique” — Saar Snoek

When: The show runs until the 27th of September.

Where: Museum da Chapelaria, Museu do Calçado, Rua Oliveira Júnior, nº591, 3700-024 São João da Madeira, Portugal
