Based on the ancient art of crafting artifacts from clay, the goal is to explore various materials and utensils using various techniques. We want to familiarize participants with the fundamentals and symbolism of this ancient and universal craft, the qualities of clay, modeling techniques, and firing. The training is practical, involving potter’s wheels, and participants will create handmade pieces to take home.
Contents:
If you are interested in learning and intrigued by rudimentary and manual techniques, either as an introduction or for those wanting to deepen their knowledge in ceramics and clay. No previous experience is required.
The pieces produced by participants will be taken home at the end of the activity and can later be fired in a proper kiln.

At Eco Life Experience, we believe that the best way to learn is by doing. Our workshops reconnect people with traditional skills, sustainable living, and the simple pleasures that come from creating something with their own hands. Whether it's baking bread, growing food, natural crafts, or exploring Portugal's rural heritage, every experience is designed to inspire a slower, more conscious way of living. Founded by Sofia Fonseca, Eco Life Experience was born from a lifelong love of nature and a desire to help people reconnect with the planet through meaningful, hands-on experiences. After a career in tourism and marketing, Sofia created the project to encourage more sustainable lifestyles by bringing people closer to traditional knowledge, local communities, and the rhythms of nature.
