Description
Create your own Portuguese tile in a workshop in Porto. Learn about the history of tiles, paint your own design, and enjoy a glass of Port wine as you work.
Create your own authentic Portuguese tile in a unique and immersive experience. Begin with a brief introduction to the history and significance of tiles in Portugal, a centuries-old art form that reflects the country’s cultural identity.
Learn about the main techniques, patterns, and influences that have shaped this form of expression. Then, choose a motif inspired by Porto’s iconic panels or create an original design, letting your creativity flow.
Under the guidance of an instructor, apply the traditional Majolica technique, painting on raw glaze before the final firing. This process results in the vibrant colors and delicate lines characteristic of Portuguese tiles.
As you paint, enjoy a glass of Port wine, making the moment even more enjoyable and memorable. In the end, take home a ceramic piece made by your own hands, along with a piece of Porto’s soul and tradition.
