Frequently Asked Questions

What hand-building techniques are taught in the workshop, and will I learn more than one in a single 2-hour session?

The workshop covers hand-building techniques including slabs, molds, coiling, and pinching, and participants are free to explore more than one during the session. How many techniques you use depends on the complexity of the piece you choose to create and your own pace. Complete beginners are very welcome; no prior experience is needed to dive in and experiment.

How many ceramic pieces can I expect to make during the workshop?

Most participants create one to two ceramic pieces during the session, depending on the complexity of the chosen technique and the pace at which you work. The workshop is intentionally kept small, a maximum of 6 to 7 people, so Úrsula can give each participant the individual attention needed to get the most out of the session. All pieces go through two kiln firings, which are included in the price.

When will my finished ceramic pieces be ready for pickup, and how long will they be stored at the studio?

After the workshop, your ceramic pieces go through two kiln firings and will be ready for pickup in approximately 3 weeks. The studio will store your finished work for up to 3 months, giving you plenty of flexibility to arrange collection at a convenient time. If you prefer, we can also ship your pieces directly to your home; shipping costs will be charged separately.

What wines are included in the tasting, and who leads the wine pairing component?

Each workshop includes a guided tasting of 2 to 3 carefully selected Portuguese wines, led by Margarida, who has sommelier training and a passion for Portuguese wine.
