Illustration Studio

Every month, the Illustration Studio has a new theme! On Saturday mornings, through drawing, painting, cut-outs, collage and modelling, children invent and illustrate stories, taking examples from art history as their starting point. Each session stands on its own: join just one, or the whole month.

October theme · Saturdays, 10 AM–12 PM

What great characters!

The ones from history and fairy tales, but also the ones that live inside us

Portraits à la Arcimboldo
Drawing, painting, collage (and many other techniques) will be our means of expression to create portraits inspired by the work of the artist Arcimboldo.

Tearing paper and making collages without knowing what for… until we discover they are our characters' clothes.

Clara Leitão

Clara Leitão is a visual artist and illustrator with a degree in Textile Design from Heriot-Watt University in Scotland. Her multidisciplinary practice includes drawing, painting and textile techniques such as embroidery and textile printing. She creates intricate, sensitive worlds connected to dreams and stories.

She regularly leads workshops for children and young people, encouraging contact with different materials, inventiveness and individual expression. She has led workshops at bilding, an art centre for children and young people in Austria, and built a public sculpture together with children from a primary school in Denmark, as part of the 17 Goals on My Mind project. She taught Art and coordinated the Curricular Enrichment Activities (AEC) at EB1 Maria Barroso, and currently coordinates the AEC at EB1 S. José in Lisbon.

She has completed artist residencies in Portugal, Denmark, Austria and Bulgaria, and held her first solo exhibition, “A porta aberta guarda tudo”, in 2023 with Galeria Arte Periférica in Lisbon.
