I'm a self-taught silversmith with 8 years of hands-on experience. I know how challenging it is to start without guidance - I’ve learned everything through trial and error.
Today, I hold all the required professional licenses and have my own responsibility mark.
So far, I’ve led more than 200 private workshops and courses for 350+ people - and not a single unhappy student!
I just love sharing what I’ve learned and inspiring others to create meaningful jewelry through one-to-one lessons and personalized courses.
No! The workshop is designed for beginners, and no artistic background is required. Maria will guide you through each step and adapt the session to your pace and creative ideas.
You'll learn how to measure, cut, shape, melt, texture, stamp, solder and polish sterling silver, gaining practical experience with traditional silversmithing techniques.
Yes! Sterling silver 925 and all the necessary tools and equipment are included. You can also choose an optional upgrade to add a natural stone from Maria's personal collection, sourced from India and Bali, but additional costs may apply.
The workshop lasts three hours and takes place in a cosy studio in central Lisbon. Individuals, friends and couples are welcome to participate.
You'll leave with your own handmade sterling silver jewellery, shaped, textured, stamped and polished by you. You can choose to create one wide band or two stacking rings.

A fun experience! I had a facetted stone sitting around which I wanted to repurpose, so I searched online for making your own silver ring. Maria was able to give me a convenient spot but then I showed up at the wrong time!! Even so, the teacher was very accommodating, and together we worked on the ring and how best to set my stone. (I didn’t know that the teacher offers a small variety of affordable stones in different colours/shapes herself!). I liked being involved in the making and understand all the different steps. Now I enjoy my special ring!

An amazing workshop and a fantastic teacher.
Did the workshop with my daughter, each making a ring and doing 95% of the ring making which was fascinating
Upgraded during the workshop to add a gem stone to my ring. Everything was explained and demonstrated before doing the work.
An incredible experience and highly recommended for anyone keen to have an individual and h pique piece of Jewellery.
