Paint with coffee or red wine in Lisbon.
Enquire about a private studio session with Rouslam Botiev inside his working Alfama atelier.
This is an enquiry, not a scheduled ticket. Date, group size, format, duration and full price are confirmed directly before any booking.
Private by enquiryNo invented dates, seats or countdowns.
A working artist’s atelierA studio visit built around the material, not a generic party package.
Cruise timing consideredShare your ship and all-aboard time so feasibility can be checked first.
Possible formats
Start with the material you are curious about.
These are enquiry directions, not fixed packages. Rouslam will confirm what is possible for your date and group before you travel.
Red wine on paper
Look closely at a more fugitive material: garnet colour, oxidation and change over time.

Ask about a comparative material study—useful for collectors and curious beginners who want to understand the difference.

Agree the shape before you book around it.
A private studio session only makes sense when availability, timing and expectations are clear.
1. Tell us the practical details
Preferred date, number of guests, material interest and any cruise deadline or accessibility consideration.
2. Rouslam checks feasibility
The atelier replies with what can be offered, including timing, duration, group fit and full price.
3. Confirm before making plans
No session is reserved until the details are agreed directly. Do not rely on the enquiry alone as a booking.
4. Visit the real atelier
If confirmed, the session takes place at Tv. de São João da Praça 57 in Alfama.
For Lisbon cruise visitors
Plan around the ship, not a perfect walking-time claim.
Alfama rises from the waterfront, but the route and walking time change with the berth, hills, crowds and your pace. Include the ship name and all-aboard time; a safe buffer must be part of the answer.
Private session enquiry
Ask what is possible.
Give enough context for a useful yes, no, or alternative. Your message is saved for the atelier and used only to reply.
Before you enquire
Straight answers.
Is there a public workshop calendar?
Not yet. Private and pilot sessions are arranged by enquiry. A date, group size, format, duration and price are agreed before any booking.
Can a cruise visitor request a session?
Yes. Include the ship and all-aboard time in the enquiry. Availability and a safe timing buffer must be confirmed before making plans.
Is wine always part of the workshop?
No. You can enquire about coffee, red wine, or a comparison of both materials. The agreed format determines what is used.
What does a private session cost?
There is no published fixed price because the format is still enquiry-led. Rouslam confirms the scope and full price directly before a booking.
