Töpfer Workshop mit Marina auf der Insel Santa Maria, Azoren, Portugal

Last year we stopped by Marina’s workshop and picked up a few pieces but when planning our trip for this year we knew we wanted to take a class with her. She’s very patient and is a master at providing just the right amount of handholding while letting you play with and learn the techniques. We will for sure be back next year!

merci beaucoup pour ce beau moment! j 'ai pu apprendre de belles techniques et un très bel échange avec marina

Had a lot of fun and enjoyed the class immensely. Marina is a wonderful, patient teacher and teaches different techniques. Went with 3 friends and we are all looking forward to more classes. Highly recommend.

The workshop was great! It was my first time working with clay, but Marina designed the workshop in such a way that it was no problem at all. She showed me very patiently and in detail how everything works and how I can implement my own ideas. It was super fun, I will definitely come back when I am on Santa Maria again!

I have been taking ceramics classes with Marina Mendonça since 2020 and it is the best investment I ever made.
First she teaches you the basics: the different techniques, the materials, how different clays behave under different circumstances and all the variables that can influence the process of creating ceramic pieces.
Once you have that on lock, she lets you spread your creative wings and make the pieces you want. Nothing is impossible, she always finds a way to guide you throwghout the creating process, from the conception until the finished glazed piece.
Working with Marina is inspiring, she is such a great artist and teacher. In short, I highly recommend this workshop!
