Workshops

I warmly welcome you to my workshop in Lisbon.

The duration is 2 hours and 30 minutes, all materials are included and provided along with tea, coffee, juice, and small pastries. I can accommodate up to ten people.

Lisbon Collection Kit

Drawing your own patterns has never been so fun and easy!

The 'Lisbon Collection' kit is specially designed for drawing Portuguese azulejo patterns. Compact in size, it easily fits into a handbag.

It all started in 2017 in Lisbon...

Agathe Cornet-Vernet
Painter and creator of Formettes

In July 2017, wanting to leave Parisian life behind, Lisbon imposed itself on me as the place for a new stage in my life.

I arrived with the intention of recreating what had brought me joy in Neuilly-sur-Seine: a free expression painting workshop where children and adults could paint without constraints. Alongside this activity, I continued my own artistic journey and joyfully raised my three daughters.

Client Testimonials

  •   My daughter (10) and I had a great time and appreciated Agathe's orientation to how to best design our azulejos. We loved being able to take them with us immediately!
