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.
