potter’s wheel experience

WITH Rita pereira

The potter's wheel has lost none of its charm and fascination since it was invented about 3000 years ago. Working with it to produce small bowls is the challenge of this creative experience. You’ll learn to focus, center, and pull through the clay and yourself under our guidance.

In the end, you can take the fresh pieces home or leave them in the atelier to be fired later in the electric kiln. 

*We charge an additional fee if you request shipment.

 

Rita Pereira, in mid-2015, enrolled in the Fine Arts degree at the University of Porto, specializing in visual arts - painting. After earning her degree, she collaborated with the Associação Oficinas do Convento at the Telheiro da Encosta do Castelo, where she first encountered ceramics. Through the production of bricks and handmade tiles, she developed her knowledge of clay as well as her initial experiences with wood-fired kilns.

Her work with clay also sparked an interest in earthen architecture and the vast possibilities that clay offers.

In 2024, she began collaborating with Cerdeira-Home for Creativity in the ceramics studio. Here, she continues to develop her craft, teaching introductory ceramics workshops and assisting with long-term courses.
