Born in India and now based in Setúbal, Tinu’s work moves between art, craft, ecology, and community. She holds a Master of Fine Arts and is an award-winning artist whose practice explores storytelling through materials, place, and collective making.
Tinu is the founder of The Art Farm in Goa, India — a creative space where artists, farmers, and visitors come together to explore art, sustainable living, and cultural exchange. Over the years, she has hosted workshops and creative programs for children and adults around the world, creating environments where people of all backgrounds feel welcome to experiment, learn, and make.
At Studio Bacalhau, she continues this spirit by offering workshops that invite participants to work slowly with natural materials and local culture. From Gyotaku fish printing inspired by Setúbal’s fishing traditions to hands-on craft sessions and yoga, her approach centers on curiosity, experimentation, and the pleasure of learning through making.
Her studio welcomes locals, travelers, and families looking for a creative experience rooted in place.
No. This workshop is suitable for beginners, with step-by-step guidance throughout.
