The workshop

Just relax and paint

Pour

Pick four colours from the ink bar and drop them straight onto the canvas. No sketching, no underdrawing — the first mark is already the painting.

Move

Tilt it, blow it, drag it with a pipette. Then take the heat gun and watch the colour pull itself into veins and edges. This is the part nobody can control — which is the point.

Reveal

Finish with gold leaf, a name in hand lettering, or nothing at all. At the end the pieces go up on the wall, still slightly damp — and nobody in the room made the same one.

The price

Everything included

One price for the full two hours and every material on the table — there is no premium-ink upsell and nothing to bring except yourself.

  • Canvas or cotton paper — yours to take home
  • Gloves, apron and a covered table
  • Heat tools, pipettes and brushes
  • Gold leaf and metallic accents
  • Guidance in English, Portuguese or Ukrainian

Good to know

Q&A

I've never painted. Is that a problem?

Not at all — most people at the table haven't touched ink before. You'll get a short demo, then as much help as you want and as much freedom as you'd rather have. Alcohol ink is forgiving: the accidents tend to be the best part.

What does the €40 include?

Everything on the table: inks, mediums, canvas or cotton paper, gloves, apron, heat tools, pipettes, gold leaf, and two hours of guidance. You only need to bring yourself.

How long is a session?

Two hours, start to finish. The first twenty minutes are a demonstration, the rest of the time is yours. Paintings are dry enough to carry home when you leave.

Do I take my painting home?

Yes — whatever you make that day is yours. If you would like it framed, we can talk about it at the end of the session.

Which languages do you teach in?

English and Portuguese. Falo português com gosto — come in whichever of the two feels most comfortable.

Can I book a private session?

Yes. Birthdays, team afternoons, hen parties, or a group of friends who just want a table to themselves. Message with a date and a headcount and we will build the session around you.

Can I move or cancel my seat?

Write as early as you can and we will move you to another date. Seats are also transferable — send a friend in your place if that is easier.
