My husband and I joined Paula’s ring workshop while on vacation, and it was such a wonderful experience! Paula was a fantastic teacher—patient, knowledgeable, and very accommodating with our schedule. I really enjoyed the workshop, learned so much about metalsmithing, and left with a beautiful handmade ring to remember our trip by.
My husband gifted me a workshop with Paula, and it was superb. In just three hours we made two rings by hand, and Paula explained every step very clearly and calmly.
She was incredibly patient—never rushed us, always checked that we were comfortable with the tools, and happily repeated things if we didn’t catch them the first time.
We felt like real jewelers, with Paula guiding us at each stage and offering gentle tips on sizes and finishes. Even though we didn’t know what we could do at the start, the results were beautiful.
The studio is cozy and welcoming, and I felt safe and confident throughout.
We’ve already recommended it to our friends and are definitely planning to come back for future workshops.
Big thank you, Paula!
We decided to do this as a date and it was such a great choice. I've loved Paula's jewelry for years and was excited to meet her and work with her! This would be great for couples or friends! Paula is a wealth of knowledge about making jewelry and it was such an interesting lesson in chemistry and the process. We have never done anything like this and we are both happy with how our rings turned out. I'd love to go again in the future and try a different method! Lovely day with a wonderful teacher!
I had such a wonderful time - I took my boyfriend as a surprise for his birthday, and it was amazing. So nice to have the space just for us, it really made the whole experience of making a ring feel really special. It was just lovely to be guided throughout the process and it was so cool how even though we were walked through the same process how different our rings turned out. Really lovely, and sweet experience; Definitely recommend!
And the port and pastel de natas at the end, really was the cherry on top!
Adorei o workshop!! Paula is super accommodating and teaches you about the art of jewelry making. Any doubts one might have or curiosity she’ll gladly guide you through! I still plan on returning to make something more elaborate from my experience. Im super happy how my ring turned out and learnt a lot :)
I took a jewellery masterclass with Paula Vieira and absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was welcoming, the instructions were clear, and I came home with a beautiful handmade piece I’m truly proud of. Highly recommend for anyone curious about jewellery making or just looking for a creative experience!
Paula was amazing. My niece and daughter made the most amazing rings as their Lisbon souvenirs. Would highly recommend and we will definitely put another visit to Paula’s gallery on our to-do list when we head back to Portugal. We had done several fun experiences as we headed through Spain and Portugal and this was one of our faves. Thank you Paula!!!
Paula's ring workshop was nothing short of an incredible, fun, friendly, and immersive experience! My partner and I spent 3 weeks in Portugal (from U.S.), and I had purchased this workshop for her as a Christmas gift. Paula gave us an incredible 1-on-1 education into the art form of jewelry-making while also giving us complete creative control over the size, thickness, pattern, and finish of our custom silver rings. She even gave us the option to use old-fashioned techniques by hand, or ease-of-use techniques with modern power tools! Whether you are a seasoned trades-person, or if you have never swung a hammer before, this class is for anyone and everyone!
My fiancée and I booked the Silver Ring Workshop. Beforehand, we shared our ideas with Paula. During the workshop, we were able to create rings just as we had imagined. It was a lot of fun, and we can highly recommend the workshop. It was a beautiful and memorable experience.
