A four-session workshop in wood sculpture focused on Japanese joinery. It runs on Saturdays, 21 and 28 November and 5 and 12 December 2026, from 10:00 to 13:00, with Maria Ribeiro, for 12 hours in total. The programme explores construction based on ideal proportions, relationships between structural elements and different ways of connecting them, with stability, durability and balance as guiding principles. It covers wood-cutting techniques, knowledge and use of tools, and identification of different wood species. Teaching is practical and includes exercises in creative and abstract thinking, developing three-dimensional vision from natural objects and building a structure based on balance, stability and resistance. No prior requirements apply. Admission is by order of registration and is open to ages 15 and over. The price is €130, plus €1.80 (Seg) and €15 for materials. The workshop is part of the Saturday visual arts programme, with a discount for attending two workshops. Parallel courses for young people aged 10–14 are also offered. Registration is open at the ArCo secretariat: 218 801 010.
