EXPERIENCES

Paint Your Own Traditional Ceramics

The Paint Your Own Traditional Ceramics experience invites you to discover one of Portugal’s most enduring artistic traditions through a refined, hands-on creative moment.

Guided by a skilled local artisan, you will explore the heritage, colours and techniques behind Portuguese-inspired ceramics, painting a ceramic piece provided for the experience. Depending on availability, pieces may include mugs, cups, plates or decorative objects.

A calm and expressive experience where creativity, culture and craftsmanship come together in a personal work of art to make truly your own.

Please note: pieces are not ready on the day of the experience, as they require a finishing process. Completion takes approximately 3 to 5 days.

Once ready, your piece may be collected or shipped to your preferred address. Shipping is available upon request and is not included in the experience price.

€65 per person.
Minimum of 4 guests required.
Private bookings are available upon request.
