Quality of Life is defined as the individual's perception of his position in life, his goals, expectations and concerns contextualized in the culture in which he lives. In this way, the present study aimed to evaluate the quality of life of ceramists. This was a descriptive and quantitative approach, being made of a sample of 20 ceramists. The data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire containing socio-demographic interrogations and specific research questions. The data obtained were presented and discussed according to literature relevant to the topic. The results showed that the majority was male, married and with a mean age of 35.55 years. Evaluating the states of health, 75% showed a good physical condition and 70% good emotional and mental states. In organizational terms, 70% reported a very hot environment, 80% reported no discomfort with noise and 90% considered the place with good lighting conditions, although 10% reported burning eyes. All participants had body discomfort, predominating in the lower column. Regarding quality of life, we found a higher percentage of workers that sets to have a good quality of life and that this is related to perception of each one.
