Based in Portugal, Clay Mood Studio, V.N. Every shape, every color and every little detail is hand-made, self-designed and created with an intense effort, inspiration and love. In my work I use natural oxydes and experiment with the most unexpected materials,

least used in a traditional jewelry. Coffee powder, hair, egg shells and other everyday life´s elements can create absolutely mind-blowing effects while mixed with oxydes. The chemical reactions produced during the firing in the kiln are always unique which means that you will never meet someone wearing the same piece of jewellery.

In a world of screens, notifications, endless information and constant rush, I like to create small pockets of slower time.

Moments to make something with your hands, drink tea, share food, talk to strangers, or simply sit quietly shaping clay.

Our weekly rhythm:

☕ Tuesdays, 11:00–13:00
Slow morning clay sessions with tea and coffee.

🍵 Wednesdays, 18:30–20:30
Clay evenings with tea, a suggested theme, and space to explore your own ideas.

🍷 Fridays, 19:00–22:00
Clay & Wine — a relaxed evening of making, sipping wine and sharing a potluck. Everyone is invited to bring a small snack to share.

No experience needed. Just a willingness to slow down for a few hours and remember what life feels like away from the screen.

There is something hypnotic about Nerikomi.

Patterns that look like stone, wood, smoke or melted landscapes are actually created entirely from coloured clay layered together by hand. 🌀✨

Coming Wednesday I’ll be sharing my current obsession: Nerikomi - the Japanese marbling technique using different clays. We’ll make a beautiful mess: layering, slicing, mixing colours and discovering unexpected patterns impossible to repeat twice.

You can create plates, bowls, mugs, jewellery dishes, candle holders or whatever shape feels natural to you 🤍

After the workshop I will glaze your pieces with transparent glaze so they become waterproof and dishwasher safe, ready to pick 2 weeks later.

No experience needed - just curiosity, love for textures and the desire to slow down and create with your hands.

Wednesday 28 May
18.30–20.30

35€ / person
Clay & firings & glazing included

Can you just relax, also your jaw, without holding on to anything, and simply be yourself? - she told me several times while taking my photos. And I realized I couldn’t.

I need to hide behind my plates, hold my mugs, carry planters, stir a curry, fix chair positions… I need to hide from the world behind some kind of action that defines me. Otherwise, I feel lost and exposed. The idea of the world seeing me without holding on to something feels scary to me. And I have no idea what to do with my hands if there is nothing I can touch.

This happens not only in photos, but also in my daily life. The only way to feel comfortable is to feel free. Being free means knowing what I’m doing on this earth, and not being attached to the task of looking for it again and again.

Every freedom has its limitations. As there is no absolute one, we choose ones, and let go of the others.
Can leaning on something be a form of freedom?

I lean on ceramics as a teacher, researcher, project manager, producer, and alchemist. In the ocean of uncertainty, this is my anchor, taking all these shapes and names.
And here I feel shielded. Im free, but I depend on my clay.

“I can’t, Lida, just let me hold my plates.” - and she said, “Fine.”

P.S. I made this set of rustic plates for Sr. Rui, and he still hasn’t picked them up.

You can also order pieces that fit my visual identity - and then pick them up 🤍

Start your morning slowly, eating and drinking from the pieces made by your own hands. ☕🍞

In this cozy ceramic workshop, you’ll create your own breakfast set — a cup or mug and a small plate for toast, fruit, sweets, or your favourite little morning ritual. You’ll also be able to decorate your pieces with liquid coloured clay pigments during the workshop, making them truly personal and one of a kind.

No experience needed — this is a relaxed and creative space to explore clay, textures and shapes at your own rhythm.

After the workshop, I will glaze and fire your pieces, so they become food safe and ready to accompany your future breakfasts and cozy sofa moments at home.

Clay has been my language for more than 15 years — a way to ground myself, to rebel, to stay free, to fill the void. I created this course to share techniques and something more: discover your own connection to clay and the way of expression. You don´t need to be artsy or "good with hands" - I believe that clay belongs to everyone: lawyers, dancers, programmers, dreamers.

We’ll drink tea, shape bowls, coffee sets, organic freestyle pieces — and cover them with glazes with effects that I make from scratch, like a witchcraft in my tiny lab. At the end of the course, you’ll take home pieces that carry your story and maybe a new version of yourself! And You will probably make new friends. In our wild garden you will meet a 100 year old avocado tree.

📍 Studio Clay Mood, Rua do Telhado 261, Gaia
🗓 Oct 1 · Oct 8 · Oct 15 · Oct 22 (19h–21h)
💰 100€ (4 sessions, all materials included)

Há cinco anos, eu e , com apoio dos nossos queridos parceiros e amigos, inventamos a cantina Beija-Flor. Em plena quarentena, onde não se fazia muito mais que aprender a plantar abacates, fazer crochet, ou testar relacionamentos fechados em casa de férias obrigatórias, dedicamo-nos a criar um laboratório de comidas. Quanto mais complicado - melhor, porque assim matávamos o sr. Tempo, que de repente, ficou enorme.

Vieram as maioneses de curcuma, douradas como sol engarrafado. Texturas veganas a mimetizar as carnívoras — crocantes com panko e suculentas com beterraba. Jardins brotavam nos pratos: flores comestíveis, folhas vivas, pequenos universos de clorofila e afeto. Fazíamos espuma de leite de coco como se fosse mar revolto, caldas densas que lembravam lava doce, fermentações - feitiços lentos em frascos. Poemas e cartas comestíveis.

Aprendi a cozinhar enquanto viajava pedindo boleias, aceitando pernoitas com pouco para oferecer — então, ajudava nas cozinhas. Cozinhas de todas as cores e formatos: umas impecavelmente limpas, onde parecia que até os talheres tinham medo de serem usados; E outras, desordenadas como tardes de domingo — cheirosas, quentes, onde se podia cortar cebola de joelhos no chão e rir alto entre os estalidos da frigideira.

Para mim, a única maneira de oferecer a alguém esse sentir versátil, rico e intenso — é cozinhar. Inventar pratos sem receitas, escutar a voz da cebola que, ao caramelizar, me revela o próximo passo. Não gosto que falem comigo nesse momento — porque é quando os alimentos estão a dizer-me o que fazer. E eu preciso escutar.

Nem sempre foi fácil: houve dias em que ninguém aparecia, e outros em que não conseguíamos alimentar a fila. Dias de silêncio nas mesas e dias em que a cozinha fervia sem parar. Aprendemos a respirar fundo nos vazios e a dançar no caos.

Com o Beija-Flor, fizemos amizades para a vida. Fomos a festivais, intercâmbios de jovens, pop-ups e concertos. Demos entrevistas e às vezes queimamos panelas. Hoje, acolhemos ainda mais pessoas e projetos na nossa cantina cosy e inclusiva. ✨ Vem festejar connosco este dia tão especial! ✨

Começamos as 15h 🤍
