More about your Teacher Priscila Latorre
A Muda Cerâmica é um espaço criativo dedicado à partilha e ao ensino da cerâmica.
O projeto é conduzido por Priscila Latorre, designer industrial com especialização em cerâmica, que há mais de 11 anos se dedica a esta arte, explorando as infinitas possibilidades que o barro oferece à criação.
Localizado em Linda-a-Velha, Lisboa, o nosso espaço nasceu com o propósito de ensinar e valorizar esta arte ancestral, onde a imaginação é o único limite para criar.
Na Muda Cerâmica oferecemos diferentes workshops e aulas, pensados para todos os níveis de experiência.
Trabalhar com cerâmica é um convite para desligar da rotina e ligar-se a si próprio — às suas emoções, expressões e ao prazer de criar com as mãos.
É também um exercício de paciência e aceitação: aprender a esperar, apreciar o processo e compreender que tudo pode mudar. Em cada peça, tal como na vida, há um caminho que nos ensina a valorizar o tempo, os erros e a transformação.
