Workshop concertina notebook
In this workshop, we will give new life to everyday materials by creating a unique handmade notebook. Using paper bags, packaging, reused paper, and other repurposed materials, each participant will build a personalized notebook to store ideas, memories, drawings, or reflections.
More than just a creative activity, this is an opportunity to look at materials with fresh eyes, discover the hidden potential in what we normally discard, and experiment with more conscious ways of creating.
This is an invitation to slow down, create with your hands, and reconnect with the simple and profound rhythm of the Alentejo.
