Clay sculpting workshop in Lisbon where you work with Portuguese clay to sculpt a human figure from a live nude model, guided step by step by international sculptor Ella Taub in a candlelit studio in the heart of the city. Clay Night has been running for over eleven years across Europe and worldwide. No experience needed, no pressure to

From the moment you arrive the session is entirely yours. Ella walks you through the basics of working with clay before guiding you through the full sculpting process as the live model holds a continuous pose. She offers hands-on direction when you want it and steps back when you do not. The atmosphere is deliberately unhurried: candlelight, background music, Portuguese wine, and enough time to completely lose track of it. Most people do. The studio environment is elegant, body positive and respectful from start to finish, connecting you to a traditional figure sculpture practice within a genuinely intimate setting.

What you’ll learn

– Human proportions and the anatomy of the figure in three dimensions– How to observe a live model and translate what the eye sees into clay– Sculpting techniques including building structure, refining form and working from observation– How to move from first mark to finished figure across a single session– Skills that stay with you long after the evening ends

What’s included

– All sculpting materials including Portuguese clay, professional grade tools and individual work surfaces– Portuguese wine or herbal tea throughout the session– Light snacks– Personal guidance from Ella Taub throughout– Live nude model holding a continuous pose for the full session– Your finished sculpture to take home

What you leave with

A finished clay sculpture made by your own hands from a live model, and the kind of evening that is genuinely difficult to describe to people who were not there. Bring a box or container to carry your piece home safely.

I am Ella Taub, an international sculptor and installation artist who has been leading Clay Night sessions across Europe and worldwide for over eleven years. I teach every session personally, adapting to each person’s pace, questions and approach. My goal is always the same: that you leave having made something real and spent an evening that felt completely unlike anything else.

Clay Night is perfect for couples celebrating an anniversary or birthday, honeymoon experiences in Lisbon, a date night that actually surprises, or anyone looking for something beyond the usual. This is an adult workshop featuring a live nude model. Please arrive on time as the session is built around a continuous pose. Limited availability, advance booking required. Full address shared after booking.
