Porto Tile Painting Workshop in artist studio
Overview
Our Azulejo Tile Painting Workshop is the only one in Porto offering two options of tile painting techniques:
-You can experience the original artisan glazing method, just as Portuguese craftsmen have done for centuries. This method tiles need to be fired in a ceramic kiln at 1,100°C (2,012°F), it takes up to 5 days to pick up or can be shipped.
-Or choose the ready-to-go acrylic painting option, where your unique tile is sealed and ready to be taken home right after the workshop.
Both allow you to create a unique piece of art to cherish.
The session takes place in our working artist studio and gallery, surrounded by contemporary art and creative energy. Led by a professional artist, you’ll paint step by step, no experience needed, while also receiving insider tips of Porto’s best art galleries, museums, tile-covered architecture, and local restaurants.
A perfect mix of authentic craftsmanship, creativity, and local insight, this workshop is truly one of a kind.
