Freestyle Acrylic Painting
In this workshop, you’ll explore acrylic painting in a free and accessible way, even if you’ve never painted before. We begin with a simple sketch and a light introduction to colour and contrast, simply as support for the creative process.
From there, each participant develops their painting in layers, exploring gesture, composition, and colour mixing at their own pace, without pressure for results. The focus is on experimentation and creating a personal image.
The session lasts around two hours and is open to all experience levels.
Host: Samuel Sanção

Wet on wet
In this workshop, we explore water as the main creative tool in a more sensory and contemplative process. Using watercolour or diluted Chinese ink, you’ll work with the wet-on-wet technique, allowing the paint to spread freely across pre-wetted areas.
The focus is on stains, unexpected blends, and embracing chance as part of the creative process, without the need to control the final result.
The workshop lasts around two hours and no previous experience is required.
Host: Samuel Sanção

Prince: €25 per person (everything included)
Make your own zine
In this workshop, you’ll explore the world of zines and create your own publication in a free and individual way. Starting from a single A4 sheet, each participant folds, assembles, and builds a unique zine using collage, writing, drawing, or whatever best suits their idea.
There are no fixed rules or formats, just space to experiment and tell something visually, at your own pace.
The session lasts around two hours and is accessible to all experience levels.
Host: Samuel Sanção

Draw After You Grow Up
This workshop is designed for those who used to draw as children and stopped along the way. Through simple and accessible exercises, we loosen the hand, unlock the line, and rediscover the pleasure of drawing without judgment or expectations.
The focus is on the process, confidence, and curiosity rather than the final result. The workshop offers a gentle and welcoming space to return to drawing with ease.
The session lasts around two hours and is aimed at adults. No previous experience is required.
