✨ End of a great Erasmus+ journey ✨
At the end of January, we said goodbye to these two amazing trainees — one from Germany 🇩🇪 and one from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 — who completed their Erasmus+ internship with us at Atelier Encaixe.
During their time here, they gained hands-on experience in woodworking, furniture conservation and restoration, working on real projects in a professional workshop environment.
🔨 This is not a “watch and learn” internship.
It’s learning by doing, guided by experienced craftsmen and real daily practice.
👉 Looking for a meaningful Erasmus+ internship in traditional craftsmanship?
👉 Want real skills, not just observation?
📩 Get in touch — your place might be next.

Duas mesas, dois projetos muito diferentes 🤍

Ambas foram recuperadas no Atelier Encaixe pelos alunos do Erasmus+, que ao longo do estágio aprenderam a trabalhar com materiais, cores e técnicas distintas.

É um conjunto diferente do que costumamos ter, mas adoramos estes projetos, que trazem tanto à aprendizagem dos estagiários e ao processo criativo.

Cada peça com a sua identidade, todas feitas com tempo e atenção. 💫
