Synopsis

The Barcelos Rooster is one of the most recognisable symbols of Portuguese folk culture. Born from the creativity of Barcelos artisans, it stands out for its vibrant colours and decorative patterns, which make each piece a unique expression of this tradition.

In this workshop, led by artisan Hélder Ferreira, participants are invited to discover more about this iconic figure of traditional Portuguese pottery and explore its decorative possibilities by painting their own Barcelos Rooster.

An opportunity to discover this tradition through the perspective of a skilled artisan, try your hand at painting and create a unique piece, while celebrating the craftsmanship that continues to bring one of Portugal’s most iconic symbols to life.
