LUSCO-FUSCO TUESDAYS On Tuesdays, the Nhama studio opens its doors here in Cadinho de Cima, Aljezur. Ricardo Marques, from Elfic Wood Works, and Tatiana Barreiros from Entre Mãos, come together to work with wood, natural fibres, mats, looms and other materials that happen to find their way into our hands. Since June, Nhama has been giving us a home, and now we want to fill that home with more hands. Starting this Tuesday, you are welcome to come and create with us. You don’t need to know how to make anything. Just bring your curiosity, your willingness to experiment, and some time to be. We’ll have tools, materials, techniques to share, and space for everyone to find their own way of making. This first afternoon, we’ll be exploring wood carving, mat-making and looms. And whatever your hands make, you get to take home with you. EVERY TUESDAY 17:30 to 19:30 At Nhama Studio, Cadinho de Cima, Aljezur https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/D4ECF24NPNQZ4
