Pick up a brush and try Porto's famous tile tradition at this downtown azulejo painting workshop. You will learn the story behind the tiles, paint your own design over a cocktail, and carry the finished piece home the same day.
Full description
This workshop in downtown Porto opens with an introduction to Portuguese azulejos, covering their origins, influences, colours and modern uses, followed by practical advice on your design. You then paint a ceramic tile with the acrylic paints and materials provided, with a cocktail in hand and a written workshop summary to take home.
Unlike many ceramic classes, the tile needs no later firing, so you collect it straight after the session in paper packaging. Reviewers describe a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere with helpful assistants who make painting easy even without artistic confidence.
