Mineral resin workshop in Olhão for anyone who wants to spend a after-work making something genuinely unique with their hands, guided by Vaïnylle, a French creator based in the Algarve who draws inspiration from nature, the arts and a deep commitment to eco-friendly creative practice. In this session you create a heat- and water-resistant trivet using mineral resin, with tile inlay, plant printing and other distinctive details that make every piece completely one of a kind. All materials included at 40 euros and all you need to bring is your curiosity, your happiness and your inner child. This workshop is mainly intended for adults and teenagers. Vaïnylle can provide support for children, but the child should already be fairly independent, as some parts of the process can be quite meticulous, and depending on the group size, she may not be able to stay by their side throughout the entire process.

The session takes place on 11 June at 18h at FABRICA de Olhão, Rua Vasco da Gama, 60, Olhão, a beautiful setting that adds its own atmosphere to the creative process. Vaïnylle guides you through the full resin work, helping you compose your trivet with tile inlay and natural plant prints in a relaxed and unhurried way. Please note that resin pieces need time to dry after the session. You can choose to return for a follow-up session to complete the finishing touches yourself or leave your piece with Vaïnylle for her to finish on your behalf. Spots are limited so advance booking is required.

I am Vaïnylle, a French creator with my heart in the world. I am inspired by nature, the arts and different cultures and I explore creative practices that allow us to reduce our environmental impact through recycled materials, eco-friendly products and conscious making.
