Workshops
We organise workshops raising awareness of traditional arts and their new uses, allowing people to try them out, and held in the workspaces of the craftspeople or in other spaces. These workshops can last 2-3 hours. They are designed for small groups of adults, or for mixed groups (families). Each workshop is a story about the Algarve, its customs and people that you can experience first-hand.

WORKSHOPS WITH VEGETAL FIBERS FROM THE ALGARVE
Palm, cane and other aquatic plants has been exploited ever since by shepherds, farmers, builders, craftsmen and children, to make objects to work, leisure and entertain. With these native plants were created ancestral techiques such as “empreita” and amazing objects that are an important part of the rich cultural heritage of the region.
Experience the place and this unique culture, in a hands on workshop, and also choose and create your own object to take and remember.
