Matosinhos shopping centre to host ceramic-shard mosaic workshop on 7 November

MAR Shopping Matosinhos will hold a hands-on workshop on 7 November, run with Academia LIPOR, in which participants turn broken ceramic fragments into mosaics. The three-hour session is led by Filipa Correia, a conservator-restorer and designer who founded Junta Cacos, a project that reuses ceramic shards through mosaic art. Each person makes a piece to take home, and no previous experience is needed. The event forms part of the shopping centre's strategy to promote reuse and prevent waste, showing how discarded material can become new design objects and encouraging people to see shards as raw material.
