FICA Creative Workshop
Workshops in Lisbon
FICA Oficina Criativa, created 10 years ago, is a workshop in Lisbon dedicated to teaching handicrafts. Here we regularly organize workshops in Lisbon on ceramics, screen printing, woodworking and other techniques craft.
In addition to our main crafts, the workshop also covers techniques such as embroidery, basketry, handmade papermaking, botanical printing, punch needle, natural dyeing, tufting and tapestry.
The workshops take place in an equipped workshop, ready to work with clay, wood, paper, paint, fibers and textiles. They allow you to learn through practice and direct contact with materials and tools.
You don't need any experience to take part in the workshops. Many participants come for the first time to try out a new material or technique. Others return to deepen processes and continue working in the workshop.

A workshop for learning
At FICA Oficina Criativa, manual techniques are a form of expression, learning and sharing. Our workshop is designed to democratize know-how, develop craft practice and promote the exchange of experiences.
The aim is to get to work, even if you've never done anything before. Coming to the workshop is an opportunity to learn, experiment and realize that every attempt counts.

I've already taken two workshops - the Enzo Mari chair and the ceramic flash - and I have nothing but positive things to say about FICA: the space is suitable, the materials are available and the trainers are friendly and very approachable. I'll be back soon to explore new materials.

A creative space with an excellent atmosphere and staff. After woodwork, ceramics, punch needle and others, I also loved the ceramic animal workshop. I'll definitely be back for new experiences.
