Oficina do Barro

The Arts Workshop, also known as Oficina de Barro, has been open for over two decades and gives special emphasis to verguinha, a handicraft of Italian origin that had been lost in time, until Bordalo Pinheiro, on one of his trips to Italy brought it back to Portugal.

It was an dissapearing art.

The workshop is visited every year by many tourists who, delighted with the work, take the verguinhas all over the world.
