About this tour
A 2.5-hour ceramic workshop where you'll hand-throw or hand-build a piece of pottery to take home from Menorca. All materials and tools are provided, plus snacks. It's a chance to learn a practical craft skill in a slower pace than typical tourism, support a local maker, and leave with a genuine handmade souvenir rather than something mass-produced.
Highlights
- Hand-create your own ceramic piece to take home
- All clay, tools, and firing included in the session
- Snacks provided throughout the workshop
- No prior pottery experience needed
- Wheelchair accessible studio space
- Learn a skill you can continue practising later
- Support a local Menorca artisan directly
What to expect
You'll arrive at the ceramic studio and receive a brief introduction to the techniques available—hand-building or wheel-throwing, depending on the workshop structure. The instructor will guide you through shaping your piece, whether that's a bowl, plate, mug, or decorative object. You'll work with the clay, get hands dirty, and receive feedback as you go. Snacks are available to keep you sustained.
Towards the end, you'll finish your piece and discuss glazing or final touches. The piece will typically need to be fired in a kiln after your session, so you'll either collect it on a later date or it may be posted to you, depending on the studio's arrangement. You'll leave with the satisfaction of having made something functional or decorative with your own hands.

Good to know
This suits anyone curious about ceramics or wanting a more active, hands-on souvenir experience than typical shopping. It's also good for those who want to slow down and try a new skill in a relaxed setting. The workshop is suitable for all fitness levels and is wheelchair accessible. Infants and small children can attend (prams allowed), though very young children may need supervision to stay engaged. There are no hidden fitness demands—it's all about creative pace and experimentation. Confirm beforehand whether your finished piece will be collected on-site, shipped later, or collected on another day, as firing takes time. Groups size and exact timing should be checked when booking.
