I am Marta, a Portuguese visual artist, born in Leiria and based in Lisbon for the past 18 years. My practice focuses primarily on tattooing, illustration and installation, exploring the relationship between the real and the surreal, as well as themes related to the body, nature, perception and social critique.
Drawing is at the core of my work and finds expression through different visual languages and mediums. My practice is multidisciplinary, bringing together artistic creation, education and participation, and reflecting my interest in the relationships between people.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Educational Sciences and a Master's degree in Intercultural Education and Arts Education. Throughout my career, I have worked as a trainer in various fields alongside my artistic practice, and have participated in and developed artistic and educational projects with diverse audiences and in different contexts.
Not at all! This workshop is suitable for beginners, and no previous drawing or printmaking experience is required. Marta Castelão will guide you through the process, from developing your design to creating your first prints.
You’ll take home one or more original A6 prints created from your own linocut design. Each print will be a unique impression of the artwork you designed and carved during the workshop.
You’ll learn the basics of linocut printmaking, explore positive and negative space, develop and transfer a design onto a printing block, practise basic carving techniques, and print your artwork by hand.
Yes! The €70 price per person includes all the materials and tools needed for the two-hour workshop.
The workshop lasts two hours and welcomes between 3 and 10 participants. It’s ideal for young people and adults interested in illustration, graphic arts, and exploring a new creative technique.
