INITIATION TO POTTERY

Cerdeira

Serra da Lousã

The potter's wheel has not lost its charm and fascination since it was invented about 3000 years ago. Using a potter’s wheel to produce small bowls is the challenge of this creative experience offered by Cerdeira - Home For Creativity.

In a 3 hour session you will learn to focus, centre and be pulled by the clay and also by yourself and your creativity. The beauty surrounding the Aldeia do Xisto of Cerdeira, with a stunning panorama of the Serra da Lousã, will surely inspire you.

You can take your finished items home or leave them in the studio for firing in the ceramics kiln.

For a fuller experience, you can stay in one of the 9 rural tourism houses fully prepared and equipped to offer you a high-quality stay. Six of them have been decorated by prestigious artists who created unique pieces to give a special character to each of the spaces.
