Azuelos - Visiting Portugal means: tiles! Especially Porto is a real open air museum when it comes to this handcrafted art. Inspired by all the little squares we booked this course and loved it. Beatriz was our host and what an energy! After a little introduction and some history you start finding your inner Picasso. We got a glass of port to free the mind and within 1,5 hours you make your own souvenir. Recommended!!

Tile Painting - a Classic Portuguese Art Form - Beatriz lead a wonderful class on tile painting. I had a friend visiting from the US and we thought it would be fun to spend some time learning to decorate tile using traditional Portuguese patterns. We were right! It was a small group for this particular class. Beatriz showed us painting techniques and how to use the materials. After the class our tiles were fired in an oven and we got to take home our creations. Lots of fun and a nice way to spend a some time with a good friend. This was my introduction to painting tiles and I would love to do more of it!
