Full ceramics workshop in Lisbon where you learn all three main hand-building techniques in a single intensive session and leave knowing you have genuinely made something. With Patricia from Ramos Cerâmica guiding you through pinching, slab building and coil building one by one, you will create three complete pieces across the workshop: a large cup, bowl or small jug, an espresso cup, and a small plate or cheese board. Each one decorated and painted by you before being glazed and fired to a professional finish. No prior ceramics experience needed and maximum five participants per class.

The session moves through each technique in sequence, giving you enough time with each method to understand how it works and what it makes possible before moving on. Patricia adapts her guidance to your pace throughout, helping you shape and refine each piece individually before the decoration stage where you choose colours, apply decorative materials and finish with a glossy transparent glaze. The atmosphere is calm and focused, the kind of unhurried creative space that Ramos Cerâmica is built around. Your finished pieces will be fired at high temperature and ready for collection approximately 25 working days after the workshop.

I am Patricia Gonçalves, ceramist and founder of Ramos Cerâmica. I came to ceramics after years of searching for work that combined creativity with the solitude and silence I deeply appreciate. I draw inspiration from natural elements, the irregularities of stones, the colours of dried flowers, hidden corners and light. What I care most about is creating objects that feel truly special, and that is the same feeling I want every participant to take home.

Sessions run with a maximum of 5 participants for personalised attention. Private sessions for up to 12 participants can be arranged on request. No prior ceramics experience needed.
