Estudio Destra is a Ceramics/Pottery Workshop based in Silves, Algarve, Portugal.
Estudio Destra was founded in the 1980s by the artist Katherine Swift (1956–2004) and the ceramicist Roger Metcalfe.
They had both previously worked in the famous Porches Pottery (Olaria Algarve), founded by Katherine's father, Patrick Swift.
Silves was once the capital of the Algarve and an important Moorish city that rivalled Lisbon.
During the building's restoration a small indentation was noticed on the doorpost where a mezuzah — the little case containing a handwritten scripture from Deuteronomy and a fixture on a Jewish home — once hung.
