AUAKE is an independent pottery studio based in Portugal, created by passionate artisans dedicated to contemporary ceramics and mindful craftsmanship. Rooted in a minimalist aesthetic, the founders have built the brand around the belief that everyday objects should combine beauty, functionality, and authenticity. Every AUAKE piece is designed and handcrafted in Portugal using traditional pottery techniques, resulting in unique ceramics that celebrate organic forms, subtle imperfections, and timeless design. The owners embrace a made-to-order production model that reflects their commitment to sustainability, reducing waste while ensuring each creation receives individual attention and care. Beyond creating collections for homes around the world, AUAKE collaborates with restaurants, interior designers, hospitality projects, and private clients on bespoke ceramic pieces. Their work is guided by a dedication to quality, craftsmanship, and responsible production, with every object carrying the character and story of the studio behind it. Today, AUAKE continues to grow as a creative pottery studio where traditional know-how meets modern design, offering handcrafted ceramics that bring simplicity, warmth, and lasting value to everyday living.
Our handbuilding pottery classes are designed for children aged 6 to 15 years old. Sessions are limited to 6 participants to ensure each child receives personalized guidance and support throughout the creative process.
Children will be introduced to basic handbuilding techniques and will create several small ceramic pieces of their choice. They will also have the opportunity to decorate their creations, making each piece unique and personal.
All clay, tools, materials, glazing, and kiln firing are included. We provide aprons, water, and fresh juices for all participants. We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that can get a little clay on them.
After the class, we will glaze and fire the pieces in our kiln. Finished ceramics will be ready for collection within a maximum of 8 weeks. We recommend taking photos of the creations after the workshop and contacting us approximately 4 weeks later to arrange collection or delivery.
Delivery is available worldwide but is not included in the workshop price and will incur an additional charge. If we do not hear from you within the collection timeframe, we unfortunately cannot store pieces indefinitely. Any uncollected items will be placed in a box outside our studio for local village residents to take.
Yes there is a minimum of 3 participants in this class. Timings can also change depending on studio availability.
