Ceramics Residencies and Retreats

In 2025 we began hosting ceramics residencies, and this year we're adding on a few retreat options. Perfect for ceramic artists that want to immerse themselves in clay, have the quiet of the countryside, with proximity to so much inspiration from Portugal's history and natural beauty.
