Some days deserve more than a card. My Women’s Day ceramics workshop in Oeiras is a dedicated creative session designed around one idea: giving yourself an afternoon that is entirely yours. You will work with clay at your own pace, exploring shapes, textures and decorative patterns intuitively, with no pressure and no prior experience needed. Just your hands, the material, and the pleasure of making something from scratch in good company.

We work at the table throughout the session, which keeps everything relaxed and sociable. I walk you through the hand modelling and decoration techniques at the start, then the session opens up into individual creative exploration, with engobes for colour and a transparent glaze finish that brings the piece to life after firing. The atmosphere is deliberately unhurried. There will be small treats, good conversation, and enough time to actually enjoy the process rather than rush through it.

What you’ll learn

🌸 Hand modelling techniques for building ceramic pieces at the table

🌸 How to work with texture and form in an intuitive and personal way

🌸 Surface decoration using engobes and colour

🌸 How to finish a piece with transparent glaze for a professional result

What you leave with

A fired ceramic piece that you made and decorated yourself, ready to take home as a permanent reminder of the afternoon you gave yourself on Women’s Day.

I am Priscila Latorre and I have been working with ceramics for eleven years. What I love most about teaching is watching people surprise themselves, especially those who arrive convinced they are not creative. This session is designed to prove otherwise, in the nicest possible way.

No experience with clay or ceramics needed. If you can sit down, slow down, and give yourself permission to enjoy an afternoon, you are ready for this workshop.
