This study considers art as a body-subject relationship, using as methodology collective creation workshops, which confront the clutter that creating provides, make possible to poeticization the tiny, the anodyne, the garbage, the ordinary and what is not important in everyday life. Through the creation of poetic images is possible to work the unreasonable (Meira, 2007), the sensitive, therefore approaches to the craft. The author participated in the group exposing her trajectory, which identifies with the other participants of the workshops, composed mostly by students of Education and by artisans cooperative enterprises, without higher education. After concluding the Textile Art I/ II disciplines, the author realized that the craft was also part of her training as a teacher and artisan, so allowed to share her experiences in meetings.
