Quinta de Sant'Ana · Gradil, Portugal
Learn the Craft
Woodworking workshops in a four-century-old atelier.
The best way to understand wood
is to work it with your hands.
I offer a small number of workshops each year at Quinta de Sant'Ana, the same workshop where I learned, in the same building my grandfather used. Small groups, unhurried pace, proper technique.
No experience necessary. Just curiosity and a willingness to slow down.
The Setting
Quinta de Sant'Ana
Between sessions, walk the vineyards or sit in the courtyard with pastéis and coffee, or a glass of the estate's wine.
