potter’s wheel one day experience

WITH Rita pereira

During this experience, you will have the chance to get in touch with an ancient form of art adapted to the present day! You will be able to feel up close what it's like to put your hands in the clay while taking an immersive journey between you and what will be your best friend throughout the day, the potter's wheel. You will use an electric wheel to learn the basics of creating small pieces such as a cup, vase, or bowl. The experience includes all materials and the firing of your pieces, which can be shipped to your home or recycled to give them a new purpose!

*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.
