Creative plaster workshop in São João da Talha for anyone who wants to spend a relaxed and genuinely enjoyable session making something beautiful with their hands, no experience needed and no artistic background required. Led by Rita Tavares Martins of Cutxi Cutxi, a Portuguese brand dedicated to handmade creations and thoughtful design, this session teaches you a simple and accessible technique for creating your own decorative plaster piece in a warm and welcoming environment. All materials are included and you leave with a unique, delicate creation ready to display at home or give as a gift.
The session guides you through the full plaster-making process with close and personal support throughout, working the material practically and following each stage at a relaxed and unhurried pace. The atmosphere is as much about disconnecting from the routine and exploring your own creativity as it is about the technique itself. Cutxi Cutxi is built on the belief that handmade objects carry meaning in a way that mass-produced things simply cannot, and that philosophy shapes everything about the way this workshop is run.

I am Rita Tavares Martins, founder of Cutxi Cutxi. We are a Portuguese brand that specialises in handmade creations and personalisation, working with intentional design, primarily manual processes and small-scale production. We do not mass-produce and we do not follow quick formulas. Every piece we create is designed to last, to be cherished and to hold meaning. This workshop is an extension of that same belief: that making something by hand, even something simple, transforms an ordinary afternoon into something worth remembering.
Open to complete beginners and anyone looking for a creative pause during the week. All materials included. Just show up and enjoy the moment.
