Summary: | This article aims to present a project report and design experience with local
communities at an event in the city of Jaú (São Paulo, Brazil). This project, a partnership
between the Laboratory of Solidarity Design (LabSol), the Patient Support Center (CAP)
of Hospital Amaral Carvalho and Oficina do Bem, resulted in an action at the “Christmas
at Amaral” event in 2022. LabSol is an extension project of the Design Department at
Unesp in Bauru, and has been working since 2007 with communities associated with crafts Amaral Carvalho Hospital is recognized for being the largest bone marrow transplant
in Brazil, and CAP welcomes patients and their companions who are in transit, in need
of medical care. Oficina do Bem is an organization of volunteer artisans that works in
community activities. For the “Christmas at Amaral” event, 50 rag dolls were developed
to give as gifts to the public, created through collaboration between LabSol and Oficina do
Bem. During production tests, the artisans reported difficulties in hand-drawing the dolls’
facial expressions, which requires fine motor coordination and strength in the hands and
wrists, which many of the volunteers no longer had due to their age. Thus, a new demand
arose: the creation of a tool to print the features of cloth dolls that would allow for varied
expressions. After some research, a stamping machine was defined as the ideal way to
meet this new demand. Along with the machine, a user manual and moving parts were
developed for eyebrow, eyes, nose and mouth printing. This machine was used in the
production of the dolls delivered at the event, providing greater comfort, precision and
agility in manual work.
