The first cane workshops appeared in Gestaçô in the late 19th century. The great promoter of this craft was Alexandre Pinto Ribeiro who, in 1902, set up his workshop there. He used an innovative technique, the bending technique, i.e., a technique based on the bending of wood ends softened in water at high temperatures and with the help of a metal bar, which allows taking advantage of larger amounts of raw material and obtaining products with a higher quality.
