I did this workshop solo with no knowledge of pottery and I managed to leave with two nice creations! And above all, I had a wonderful time with Francisco and his father! Funny, friendly, and welcoming, I don't think it's possible to have a better pottery experience :) I truly recommend this workshop and even the tour guide, about whom I heard only good things during my class ☺️☺️

It was the first time we did an olaria workshop, we were lucky to be something more exclusive because we were only 2 people and we loved the experience 5⭐ Mr. José Simões is very friendly, patient, helpful and lively. The space is very nice! We will definitely repeat the experience, thank you very much
Muito obrigada, Cíntia, pelo seu comentário tão bonito e pelas 5⭐! Ficamos mesmo muito felizes por saber que a vossa primeira experiência num workshop de olaria foi tão especial e positiva. Ter sido um momento mais exclusivo tornou-o ainda mais memorável, e é ótimo saber que aproveitaram ao máximo. O José agradece muito as suas palavras a simpatia, paciência e boa disposição fazem parte da essência do nosso trabalho, assim como criar um ambiente acolhedor e inspirador. Será um enorme prazer recebê-las novamente para repetir ou aprofundar! Muito obrigado pela preferência e até breve. (AlgarvianRoots)
We had an absolutely fantastic experience of pottery in Silves! A fun, creative and very special moment, ideal for all ages. José was amazing — super friendly, welcoming and patient to guide us in this magical world of clay. In the end, we were still surprised with a delicious snack and a wonderful homemade cake! I highly recommend to everyone who visits the area! A different and memorable activity. Thank you, Jose and Francisco! 👏👏
Olá Cláudia, Muito obrigado pela sua fantástica avaliação e por partilhar connosco a sua experiência no nosso workshop de olaria em Silves! Ficamos muito felizes por saber que desfrutaram de um momento tão especial, criativo e divertido conosco. O José e o Francisco ficaram verdadeiramente tocados pelas suas palavras, é sempre um prazer receber pessoas tão entusiastas e abertas a explorar o mundo mágico do barro. É com gestos como o vosso que sentimos que estamos no caminho certo, a criar memórias únicas para quem nos visita. E claro, saber que o nosso lanche e bolo caseiro também conquistaram corações… é a cereja no topo do bolo! 😊 Esperamos voltar a recebê-los numa próxima experiência. Até breve! A equipa AlgarvianRoots
Our family decided to try pottery with a local master. It was the best experience we had in Faro. Well organised. A lot of fun with an amazing teacher. The entire experience was something we won‘t forget. Our pieces were made with love and we look forward to displaying them.
Dear Sharon, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that the pottery workshop was the highlight of your time in Algarve. It means a lot to us to know that you and your family had such a memorable and joyful experience with our local master, we completely agree, he's truly special! It’s wonderful that your pieces turned out beautifully and were made with love. We hope they bring a smile every time you look at them. You’ll always be welcome back at AlgarvianRoots for more creative adventures. Until then, warm wishes from all of us! Kind regards, Francisco Simões (AlgarvianRoots)
A fabulous afternoon at José and Francisco! We thought we would come for a pottery workshop, we now know we come for much more: a magnificent decor in a lush garden embellished with the artist's works, a moment of relaxation where you can give free rein to your creativity to the sound of music, a moment of sharing and laughter despite 3 different languages spoken during the workshop, and especially for the immense generosity of this Algarvian artist. Let yourself be carried away, here everything goes quietly, "con calma", and it is perfect! Do not be surprised, José will not dwell on theory, a demonstration and you will be on track, the goal being that each person leaves with a work that he will like: whether you are completely beginner or experienced, he will adapt to help you create the piece of your choice! For the spoken language: obviously everything is easier if you master Portuguese or English, but do not let the language barrier stop you: for pottery, gestures speak for a lot, a smile and good humor will do the rest!
Chers amis, Un immense merci pour vos mots si chaleureux et touchants. Toute l’équipe d’AlgarvianRoots, et en particulier José et Francisco, est profondément reconnaissante pour le temps que vous avez consacré à partager votre belle expérience avec tant de détails et de gentillesse. Votre message reflète exactement l’esprit que nous souhaitons transmettre à travers nos ateliers : un moment de créativité, de détente, de partage et de simplicité, dans un cadre naturel inspirant et authentique. Lire que vous avez ressenti tout cela nous remplit de joie et de fierté. Nous croyons que l’art, comme vous l’avez si bien dit, dépasse les mots et les langues, et que les sourires, les gestes et la générosité créent des ponts universels. Merci d’avoir si bien capturé cette essence dans votre témoignage. Vous serez toujours les bienvenus chez nous, con calma, pour de nouveaux moments de création et de convivialité. Avec toute notre gratitude, L’équipe d’AlgarvianRoots Muito obrigado!
Wow! More than I expected in a three hour workshop! The father and son team were very knowledgeable about the process of working with clay on a wheel and explaining it to us in English. We had a variety of choices for our projects and were able to create with guidance a few high quality projects on the wheel. We also used hand building techniques on some of our projects. In addition, we were also offered lemon tea made from a lemon tree from their yard and a tasty snack tray of local bread, cheese and fruit. All of it took place outdoors in their beautiful garden. All in all it was a lovely learning experience in a beautiful setting. Our session went longer than three hours because the projects we chose took longer than expected.
Olá Lana! Thank you ever so much for your wonderful review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that your experience with us exceeded expectations. It’s always a pleasure to welcome guests who are enthusiastic and curious about the art of pottery, and we’re thrilled that you enjoyed both the wheel work and the hand-building techniques. Our aim is to create a welcoming, inspiring space where creativity can flourish — and it’s lovely to know that the setting, along with the homemade lemon tea and local treats, added to the experience for you. We’re also glad the extra time allowed you to complete your chosen projects without feeling rushed — we believe that creativity shouldn’t be hurried! It was a real pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back to our garden studio again in the future. Muito obrigado!
Fun & relaxing pottery class with a father and son. The father, who is the potter, was a very good instructor. The property is beautiful and we were presented with. very nice spread of food.
Olá Bridget Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so pleased to hear you found the pottery class both fun and relaxing — that’s exactly the atmosphere we aim to create. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed learning from our master potter and appreciated the beautiful surroundings of our family property. We’re also glad the food added a special touch to your experience — we love sharing a taste of the local flavours with our guests. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime! Muito obrigado!
