Private workshops with Cecile

Caremics

Ceramics as a practice of care.
Always private, always shaped around you, at your pace, in my studio in Lisbon, in my studio in Guéthary, France, or wherever you gather.

The method

Care + ceramics

Caremics

Caremics is my way of sharing clay, where making with your hands becomes a way of caring for yourself. Drawing on my own practice of sophrology, I bring attention to the body, the form, the mouvement and our intention, creating space for you to trust your gestures and discover your own forms.

Each session begins with a guided meditation to help us arrive, set an intention, and welcome the clay. 
We then move at an unhurried pace, exploring how to press, pinch, and shape it by hand. I guide you as you create your own ceramic pieces, which stay at the studio for finishing and firing before they are ready to join you at home.⠋

How it works

  1. 01

    You reach out

    Tell Cecile where and roughly when, how many of you, and the occasion. Get in touch to see if she'll be in Portugal or France.

  2. 02

    You shape it together

    Date, length, group size, place and price are agreed : for two people, a family, a team or a retreat, inside, outside of the studio, in Portugal, Europe, the world.

  3. 03

    Hands in the clay

    A private session, only your group. After the session, your pieces stay for drying, firing, and glazing. Once ready, they can be collected from the studio,shipped or delivered by arrangement.

Further afield

Retreats, teams
and gatherings

Caremics can travel. 
From intimate gatherings, retreats, companies events, private homes or special moments, I shape each experience around your setting, your group, and your intentions. 


I’m happy to explore travelling to you, wherever you gather, with travel, materials, and practical arrangements included in a tailored proposal.

Good to know

Before you write

Do I need any experience?

Everyone is welcome, including complete beginners. 
I’ll guide you step by step, at your own pace, with space to explore the clay, trust your hands, and enjoy making.

How many people can join?

At the studios in Lisbon and Guéthary, sessions welcome up to six people. For gatherings at your own venue, I can accommodate larger groups, with the group size shaped around the space available and the practical arrangements we agree together.

What happens to the pieces we make?

Your pieces stay with me for drying, firing, and glazing. Once ready, you can collect them from the studio or arrange delivery at an additional cost, bringing a little of your time with clay into everyday life.

Which languages?

Sessions are available in English, Portuguese, and French. 
I also understand Spanish, though I speak it less fluently, and I’m happy to help you feel at home in any languages.
