Ceramics and Wine Workshop: A Journey Through Portugal
Shaping clay and discovering Portuguese wines set the scene for an afternoon around the table at our studio. Our Ceramics & Wine workshop brings together making your own pieces, a guided tasting and a journey through Portugal’s wine regions. As your creations take shape, there’s time to explore techniques, textures and flavours, share ideas and discover wines from Quinta da Vineadouro in the Douro Superior.
Our Ceramics & Wine Workshop in Lisbon brings together two people who enjoy sharing their craft: ceramic artist Úrsula Duarte and sommelier Margarida Mendes. Over two hours, working with clay unfolds alongside a guided tasting and a journey through Portugal’s 14 wine regions.
Learn the techniques, shape your own ideas
With Úrsula’s guidance, you’ll discover how to turn a ball of clay into functional ceramics using traditional hand-building techniques such as pinching, coiling, slab building or working with moulds. She’ll introduce the techniques and help you apply the approach best suited to what you’d like to make, showing you how to shape, join and refine the clay as your pieces develop.
From a breakfast bowl to a small serving plate or a candleholder, your creations can become objects you use and enjoy every day. No previous experience is needed: Úrsula will demonstrate the process and support you as you work, leaving room for your own ideas and personal touches. Afterwards, your pieces stay at the studio for firing, ready to collect once complete.
A journey through Portugal, with a stop in the Douro
With a map of Portugal’s 14 wine regions in front of us, we set off on a journey across the country, guided by Margarida. We explore the landscapes, grape varieties and traditions that shape Portuguese wines, discovering how such a small country offers so much diversity.
For this edition, we spend a little longer in the Douro, with a guided tasting of wines from Quinta da Vineadouro in the Douro Superior. What we discover on the map comes to life in the glass, with plenty of room for questions, shared impressions and new discoveries.
You don’t need to know the vocabulary or find the “right” answer. Whether you’re discovering Portuguese wine for the first time or exploring an existing interest, curiosity is a good place to start.
