Jewellery making workshop in Algarve near Albufeira where you design and create your own bracelet, necklace or bag charm using high-quality stainless steel materials, guided step by step by Apolline and Lola from Atenda in a warm and relaxed small group setting. Five charms of your choice are included so you can fully personalise your piece and make it entirely your own. No prior experience needed and snacks and refreshing drinks are included throughout to keep things easy and enjoyable.
Atenda was founded by two friends who met while studying in Canada and later settled in the Algarve, with a vision for experiences that blend creative making with genuine personal connection. The workshop reflects exactly that: a relaxed and hands-on session where creativity meets good company, designed for solo travellers, couples, friends and families alike. The small group format ensures that every participant gets individual attention throughout, and the atmosphere is deliberately unhurried so there is always time to experiment, change your mind and make something that actually feels like you.

We are Apolline and Lola, founders of Atenda. We met while studying in Canada, settled in the Algarve, and built Atenda around a simple belief: that the most meaningful experiences are the ones you create yourself. We bring the workshop to you, from private villas to intimate group settings, making every session personal, welcoming and memorable. Our goal is always the same: that you leave having made something beautiful and having genuinely enjoyed the process of making it.
