Scrapbook workshop in Lisbon exploring creative practice as hybrid between diary, art book, and memory box through collecting fragments of everyday life<\/b> (images, words, textures, objects) and turning them into visual pages that tell stories. Unlike traditional diaries writing in full sentences, you compose with layers, collage, handwriting, drawings, colors, and found materials creating expressive pages using recycled paper, magazines, fabric, ephemera, and decorative elements.<\/p>\n

This weekly creative ritual offers more than traditional arts and crafts class, functioning as moment to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and translate thoughts<\/b>, memories, and feelings into visual form through guided exploration of collage, layering, handwriting, drawing, and mixed media techniques. Whether you want to document memories, process emotions, or simply enjoy making something tactile and beautiful, this session offers safe and inspiring space to experiment with beginner friendly instruction in small intimate groups (maximum 4 participants).<\/p>\n
