About

The former primary school of Ribeira da Azenha, in Vila Nova de Milfontes, has been transformed into Oficina na Escola, a Centre for the Promotion and Appreciation of Local Products and Crafts. The space brings together a local handicrafts shop, a ceramics studio, and a meeting place dedicated to activities such as yoga, singing, and small events. It is a new life for a building rich in memories — the school of many generations since 1957 and, later, the headquarters and storage space of a former theatre company. Today, Oficina na Escola establishes itself as a place of creation, sharing, and appreciation of local knowledge, where time slows down and hands-on experience regains its central role. Between the Alentejo coast and the hills, Oficina na Escola opens its doors to the world of ceramics through experiences accessible to different levels of practice and curiosity. Whether it is a first contact with clay, a deeper technical exploration, or a more continuous learning path, there are three ways to enter the world of ceramics, in a welcoming, creative environment that is deeply connected to the surrounding region.
