Zaratan welcomes you to a ceramic tile making workshop led by resident artist Karen Francesca.
The workshop will center around the theme of FAITH, inviting participants to consider questions such as: What are our core beliefs? Who do we place our trust in? And how does faith manifest in a post-truth era?
Participants will learn to decorate a clay tile by creating impressions using various patterns and text. The finished, fired tiles will contribute to a new micro-mosaic project that will become part of Lisbon's public street art.
This workshop is open to individuals of all ages and skill levels. All materials will be provided.

BIO: Karen Francesca has been making Public Art, gardens, and street-works for over two decades. Extending from the environmental movement, a Fine Art background and her work as an Art Psychotherapist, she draws attention to our loss of relationship with the land and the social implications of environmental degradation. With the dual intention of making comment through large artworks, whilst also creating healthy and bio- rich environments, she facilitates direct contact with the materials of the earth, wild clay and foraging. Teaching food growing and garden creation for many years has informed her way of seeing the potential for collaborative, positive interventions in public space. Francesca’s practice is agricultural and craft based, combining art with ecology, nutrition, landscape, ancient architecture and the social. She is working towards self sufficiency from a forest garden.
