Ceramics Workshop at Caulino
Ceramicist Catia Pessoa frequently collaborates with Jose Avillez, whose restaurants are decorated with her work. (The cornucopia of kitchen ingredients floating over the gourmet shop of Bairro do Avillez is one of the more colorful examples.) Her studio in Baixa is full of all sorts of products for purchase, like the practical but stylish mixed clay plates and sculptural vases that can double as objet d’art. But there’s also the option to learn from the master and make your own ceramics. Classes are scheduled a few times a week, and depending on her availability, Pessoa might be on-hand to administer one of them.
