All of our workshops are designed to be accessible to everybody from the seasoned artist to the occasional doodler and we strongly believe that with the right guidance and encouragement, full self expression is just a pencil’s throw away.
Print Tile Postcards & Patterns
Within this carefully curated three hour workshop, we’ll give you an overview of the relief printing process before guiding you through the designing, carving and printing your own lino block. You’ll have the option of making a stand alone image, an Azulejos inspired tile motif or a traditional half-drop repeat pattern.
This relaxing and educational session will have you making multiple prints and will provide you with all the knowledge you’ll need to make your own at home.
Drink & Draw Online
Since 2020 and the creation of our Drink & Draw workshop, we’ve been fortunate to to take our skills further afield by bringing creativity into homes and offices; connecting friends, families and teams around the globe.

We’ve conducted workshops for groups of between 10-150 people and hosted corporate teams for companies such as Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Spotify, KPMG, Blackrock, Goldman Sachs and many, many more.
With a focus on the underlying mindful and stress-relieving benefits of drawing, this workshop is designed to ground and connect you with your surroundings and everybody within the group.
Stretch & Sketch
Art and exercise are good for you, so why not combine both?
Stretch & Sketch is the ultimate workshop for your creative wellbeing. Combining yoga and life drawing, this workshop begins by leading you through a gentle yoga sequence to relax, focus the mind and elevate the mood.
After this we continue our flow through guided drawing exercises with a few quick studies of objects around us, before capturing a series of yogic poses held by our teacher.
Having experimented with a range of mediums from charcoal to ink, you’ll leave feeling grounded and refreshed with a stack of beautiful drawings to take home.
Print & Drink
This unique workshop celebrates creativity in its purest form and focuses on fun, laughter and letting go of inhibitions.
Whether it's in our candle lit city atelier with a glass of dark red Douro wine, or on a remote Alentejo hillside with a full moon rising, this is our favourite workshop to host.
Using monoprinting techniques we spend the first half of the session focusing on still life studies and drawing objects on the table in front of us.
In the second half we turn our attention to portraiture, firstly with our muse of the moment and then each other, moving around the table and using a range of techniques from non-dominant hand to not looking at the paper and creating wildly unpredictable images in the process.
Alongside a stack of unique prints to take home, this session is guaranteed to have you and the rest of the group crying with laughter by the end of the evening.
“We have also brought sketch pads into the office by specialising in team building events for companies like Apple, Microsoft, Ikea, Google, Spotify and LinkedIn.
Making it a crazy time of taking our love of art on tour and spreading the motto that ‘anyone can draw!”
