How it works
The mentoring program is designed for those who already have some experience with the Potter’s Wheel and are looking for a supportive space to continue practicing and developing their skills. Unlike a traditional workshop, this format allows for independent work with guidance when needed, making it ideal for intermediate potters who want to grow at their own pace.
Why join?
Consistency: Dedicated weekly studio time helps you stay focused and grow steadily.
Guidance: Work independently but with expert support when needed.
Community: Be part of a small, creative group that shares the same passion.
Professional setting: Access to tools, kilns, and materials that support more advanced work.
Testimonials

Catarina was brilliant - always generous with her time, supportive, and full of helpful advice. She showed me how to improve my pottery skills and encouraged us to plan our work through notes and drawings. A truly inspiring and confidence-building mentoring experience. Highly recommended.

Catarina inspired and guided me back into working with clay like no one has been able to do! After more than 20 year break from pottery and working on the wheel, I joined Catarina's mentorship program at Loulé Criativo to work with her weekly. Her beautiful work inspires new ideas and form and her personal approach which combines precision and spontaneous gesture helped me to grow naturally into my own direction and style. I recommend her with all my heart and treasure the time I spent in her studio.
