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 ;)

Great experience! Was a lot of fun and left with some beautiful pieces. Thank you!
If you’re looking for a way to bring home a memory instead of another souvenir that ends up in the back of a closet, I can’t recommend Maya and Shadow (the cheerleading cat) enough.
Spending an afternoon making rings with Maya was one of the highlights of our time in Lisbon. She was warm, welcoming, incredibly knowledgeable, and made the entire experience feel relaxed and personal. She guided each of us through the process of creating a ring that reflected our own style, while sharing fascinating insights about the craft along the way.
When one of our rings turned out a little too big, she took the extra time to make it right and walked us through the resizing process, which was interesting to see and made the experience even more memorable.
By the end, we didn’t just leave with beautiful handmade rings, we left with a story, and a much deeper appreciation for the work that goes into creating something by hand.
Thank you, Maya (and Shadow!) for such a special afternoon.
My husband and I took Maria’s class on our honeymoon trip. It was such an amazing experience. I love all things jewelry and this workshop is so intimate and you learn so much in a short amount of time. Maria is easy to get along with and very engaging. She is so knowledgeable about her craft and works now to share that passion with others. We also got to hang out with her adorable cat, Shadow. I would highly recommend this experience. You won’t regret it!
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 :))
