Introduction to Ceramics: Discovering Clay, Unleashing Creativity

There’s something special about transforming a piece of clay into a one-of-a-kind creation. It’s a process that invites us to slow down, experiment, and discover new forms of expression through our hands.

At Cerdeira Home for Creativity, the Introduction to Ceramics Course, led by Renato Costa e Silva and Kerstin Thomas, is an invitation to immerse yourself in this world over six days of learning, sharing, and experimentation.

From preparing the clay to modeling techniques, from the potter’s wheel to glazing and firing, you’ll discover the different stages of the ceramic process and gain the foundations to continue exploring this art on your own.

Between the focused atmosphere of the studio and the tranquility of the Serra da Lousã, you’ll have time to learn, create, and discover the joy of making something with your own hands.

No experience is necessary, just curiosity and a willingness to try.

That first step could be the beginning of a new passion.
