INDIVIDUAL POTTERY WORKSHOP — PRIVATE SESSION
INDIVIDUAL POTTERY WORKSHOP — PRIVATE SESSION
This private, one-on-one pottery workshop is tailored to your level and goals — whether you're picking up the wheel for the first time or already have some experience (including those who've done the intensive) and want to consolidate and refine your skills.
Depending on your level, we can cover:
- Centering clay and pulling the walls of a cylinder
- Finishing pieces with the trimming technique
- Decorating them, painting with underglazes
🧍🏽 Individual, private session
🕒 3 hours
📍 Páteo Alfacinha, Lisbon
Since it's just the two of us, I'll adapt the pace and focus entirely to where you're at — more guided if you're starting out, or more hands-off and focused on troubleshooting/refining technique if you're already comfortable at the wheel.
I'll provide aprons, but comfortable clothes that can get dirty are advised.
Trimmed nails are extremely important when working this technique.
The pieces will later be glazed by me and delivered at the studio within four weeks.
The price of the workshop already includes materials, glazing service, and firings.
The pieces belong to the student and will only be kept three months after notice of completion.
Same day cancelations are not refundable, let me know if something comes up beforehand and we'll reschedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you ship my ceramic pieces after the workshop?
We used to, but due to new EU packaging regulations, shipments are suspended (deliveries to Portugal remain active). You're always welcome to pick up your pieces at the studio — or recycle them, since the experience is what matters most.
How long will it take for my pieces to be ready?
We typically need about one month to have your pieces ready. Ceramics go through a long process, including drying, firing, and glazing, to ensure the best results. We'll explain each step during the workshop. It's a bit of a wait, but definitely worth it!
Can I use my ceramic pieces for everyday use?
Yes! Once finished and properly fired, your pieces are food-safe and suitable for everyday use. They can be used for eating and drinking, and are dishwasher-safe unless we advise otherwise for a specific piece. We'll share care instructions and explain everything during the workshop.
