aced with the frenetic pace of today's lifestyle, professional pressures and personal problems, ceramic workshops emerge as an effective relaxation practice and way to recentre your connection to nature. Making ceramics can be a therapeutic and meditative experience, allowing individuals to express their creativity and reduce stress. Additionally, the process provides a sense of accomplishment as raw materials are transformed into functional and artistic pieces, all while disconnecting from the daily stress and reconnecting with oneself and other creators. If you're looking to create your own ceramics in Mallorca, here are five creative workshops where you can get hands-on experience.
1. Ceramicarme in Alcúdia
On her finca near the picturesque town of Alcúdia, local artist Carme Navas Campomar offers a personalised experience for ceramic enthusiasts. After the pandemic, Carme started making ceramics again, as she had always enjoyed it as a child. Her passion grew and two years ago she decided to offer workshops due to the lack of ceramics classes in Mallorca's northern area. What Carme likes most about her work is the connection with the clay. In her own words, 'emotions influence the process, and the clay helps channel them, expressing them through creativity'. Her workshops focus on creating functional and decorative pieces that reflect the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape and the creator's inner world. Workshops at Ceramicarme are intimate, often limited to small groups to ensure personalised instruction and a feel-good atmosphere.
