Join us for an immersive ceramic hand-building workshop, perfect for beginners and anyone eager to explore the art of clay. In this 2.5-hour session, you will be introduced to the three fundamental hand-building techniques:
✨ Coil Building – Create organic and structured shapes by stacking and blending coils.
✨ Slab Building – Use flat sheets of clay to construct forms, ideal for plates, boxes, or sculptural pieces.
✨ Pinch Pot – A simple yet effective technique to shape small vessels using just your hands.
You are welcome to come with an idea in mind or simply let your creativity flow as you shape and mold your first ceramic piece. Our experienced instructor will guide you through each step, from building to refining your work, ensuring a fun and inspiring experience.
At the end of the workshop, all pieces will be fired in our kiln and glazed with a transparent glaze. As soon as they are ready, we will contact you for pickup. Please note that this process may take up to 2 weeks.
🔹 Want to personalize your piece even more? This is Part 1 of your ceramic journey. If you’d like to paint and decorate your creation yourself, you’ll have the opportunity to join Part 2, where we’ll dive into underglazes and ceramic decoration techniques. This optional follow-up session will allow you to add your own artistic touch before the final firing. More details will be shared during the workshop!
🔹 No prior experience is needed—this workshop is designed to be accessible and enjoyable for all levels.
🔹 All materials and tools are provided—just bring your enthusiasm!
🔹 A relaxed and creative atmosphere—a small group setting ensures personalized attention.

Ring Size Guide
Ring Size Guide
All rings sizes present on the website are shown in Portuguese scale measurement.
Measuring Your Ring Size at Home:
You can easily measure your ring size with just a few common household items. Here’s how:
-
What You’ll Need:
- A strip of paper or a piece of string (non-stretchy material works best).
- A ruler (millimeters for accuracy).
- A pen or pencil.
-
Steps to Measure:
- Wrap the paper or string around the base of your finger where you would normally wear the ring. Make sure it fits snugly but isn’t too tight.
- Mark the point where the two ends meet.
- Lay the string or paper flat and measure the length with a ruler in millimeters.
- Use the chart below to find your corresponding ring size.
Tip: Measure your finger at the end of the day, when it’s likely to be the largest. Avoid measuring when your hands are cold, as fingers tend to shrink in size.
Additional Tips for Finding the Right Size:
-
Finger Size Changes: Your fingers can change size slightly throughout the day or due to factors like temperature, activity, or time of year. It’s best to measure when your fingers are warm (not cold), and preferably in the afternoon when they’ve reached their fullest size.
-
Wide Bands: If you're ordering a wide ring band, you may want to go half a size larger to ensure a comfortable fit. Wider bands tend to feel tighter than thin bands.
-
Existing Ring Measurement: If you already own a ring that fits perfectly, you can measure the inside diameter of that ring. Then, match the diameter to the chart above to find your size.
Professional Sizing:
If you're unsure about your measurements or want extra peace of mind, we recommend visiting a local jeweler for a professional sizing, especially if you’re purchasing a custom or significant piece like an engagement or wedding ring.
