What to expect

Please keep an eye on your messages after booking, as we will confirm all the details before the experience. With the guidance of a local pottery master, you will create pieces on the potter’s wheel using this ancient technique, as well as explore other modelling and decorating methods. We start by making a simple piece and then move on to a more complex one. Afterwards, we will decorate them using various techniques. The pieces made by participants will not be ready at the end of the experience, as clay items need to dry slowly before being fired in a high-temperature kiln. Shipping of the finished pieces is not included. The pieces will be ready for collection within 30 days. For shipping, an additional fee applies to cover logistical and packaging costs: Portugal and Europe: €10.00 America: €20.00
