Do you remember when I wrote about 'A Avó Veio Trabalhar'? You can read the post here.

Well, I told you guys I would like to go to their next workshop and I really went!
I spent one all morning at 'A Avó Veio Trabalhar', in a workshop of serigraph.

All I can say is, I LOVE IT! I love the place, the teacher Ângelo was amazing, super down to heart, explained everything and I went home really pumped of this great energy and wanting to do stuff. Just love it and recommend!!

The feeling was so good, learning new thing, putting my hands on ink, making things with my own hands... I always loved handcraft and I totally remember why I went to art in the first place.
In the end of the workshop, the students got a piece of fabric with the design made by ourselves. With my piece I'm planning to make a pillow, even got the fabric to make it.
Follow 'A Avó Veio Trabalhar' on facebook, get the news about them, about their workshops.

Meanwhile, here it is a small showcase of the pictures I took on that morning.















And enjoy the rest of your day!

This year my journeys had started pretty early, in January.
I had an invitation to go to London for a weekend and meet up some people who want to donate and volunteer who want to came to Portugal and spend a couple of days at Bianca.
So I went!
Travelled on friday afternoon and even that I arrived at London, Heathrow airport really late (flight was delay almost one hour!!) I know I had two days to enjoy London.

As usual I manage to schedule a date with my friend Vera, who is living in London for a couple of years and we had a blast!! But that I will tell you all about it in another post... stay tune!

On saturday morning my friend Aysa took me to Great Foster for a late breakfast.



This luxurious hotel was one of the favourites sites of King Henry VIII to hunt and you truly can see the magnificent of its architecture and decoration. Every room is greatly decorated and every detail counts. Detailed ceilings overwhelmed you while you that the tour inside this hotel (see Great Foster brochure here!).
Big fireplaces, fine arts... it is beautiful!




If you are thinking about going to London and going to Windsor, take a small detour and go to Great Foster. Is quite close to Windsor and its Palace and the famous school Eton College which deserves a visit too.

Sorry about the pictures quality but I didn't took my camera and all this was shoot with my smartphone.
