Book a private jewelry making class with MaterialMaya
Are you in Lisbon or plan to visit this beautiful city? Would you like spending a few hours having fun with making jewelry, which you can take home?
Here you can book one of my classes with a deposite (50€ now, the rest - after class). I hope you already contacted me on Intagram/Telegram @materialmaya or by email mymaterialmaya@gmail.com so we could discuss available dates, time windows and type of the class.
Classes take place in my Lisbon studio, near Martim Moniz Square, a few times a week. Each session lasts 2–5 hours (depending on the design) during which you’ll create a unique piece of jewelry. You’ll learn how to handcraft a piece from scratch using a variety of metalsmithing techniques. If you wish, you can set semi-precious natural stones into your creation. All materials are included in the price up to certain limits, except for workshops with gold. Please browse the pictures for more info and choose the class that suits you.
For workshops with gold please first read this FAQ. If you want to become a jewelry artist, check my 4-day intensive course. In case you want to present a workshop or a course to your friend, purchase a gift certificate.
You will wear the proper safety equipment (which I provide too) to minimize the possible risks of working with different tools and materials.
Once your payment is complete, classes can be rescheduled upon request in case of force majeure, fed be great if you give me a 24-hour notice. Please note, however, that I am usually booked 1 to 1.5 months in advance.
See you and hope you'll enjoy getting new skills ;)

i had the most wonderful afternoon with maria making a one-of-a-kind silver ring designed around a fragment of a 4.5 billion year old meteorite. it was a truly magical process, from “painting” the ring’s shape in wax with a soldering iron, to creating the sand mould, to heating the silver into a molten goo and pouring it in, and then the multiple steps of filing and polishing it. i walked away with such a unique piece that i will cherish forever. i can’t wait to return and gift this workshop to others so they can do the same! i highly recommend maria — one of lisboa’s best kept secrets!
The workshop is really nice, Maya guides you thru every steps into the making of your ring !
I highly recommend it :))
I had the pleasure to make two silver rings with custom design.
Maria was super professional and helped me to make my designs come true.
I had my first one day workshop with her thanks to a friend that purchased a gift voucher for me.
I did the same thing as a gift to another friend’s birthday.
I think it’s a great experience to offer to anyone interested in making a one-of-kind piece. No prior experience is needed. Maria’s knowledge and guidance throughout the whole process make it possible and super fun!
We had a great experience creating our very first couple’s rings together with Maya’s guidance and instructions. The cat was adorable, but more importantly, we had the opportunity to learn about the jewelry- and ring-making process. Doing it with my partner was the best takeaway. Kudos to Maya for her patience and excellent teaching—it’s a must-try in Lisbon!
This class was awesome! She’s so knowledgeable, funny and personable…and our rings turned out great! Would definitely recommend :)
