A lot of fun exploring your artistic side - My wife and I were looking for something to fill in some time on our last day on Porto, and this was something she had her eye on. I’m very glad we were able to make this work out. The “class” has room for about 15 people, all seated around a long table. You are given a series of patterns to choose from, followed by some quick instructions to get you on your way. From there you are free to try to recreate the color pattern of the original, or put your own twist on the final product. I have almost no natural artistic ability, but the class was still a lot of fun. Beatriz is an absolute character, and is perfectly suited to combine instruction, guidance, and laughter. Throw on a glass of port (popular with the class) and some Portuguese biscuits, and everybody had a great time. One thing to be aware of is that your finished tile will need to be coated and baked to get to the end product, so you won’t be able to take it with you at the end of the class. You will need to come back a few hours later, but we just worked it in to our exploring for the day.

Colourful memory captured in tile - Beatriz was an absolute joy and made this class super relaxed and fun. Our tiles are the best souvenir we could possibly bring from Portugal because they make us appreciate the art that adorns the buildings here, but the memory of sharing the experience with others at the table make it priceless.

Very knowledgeable instructor - This class was great and our instructor was very knowledgeable about the history and techniques of tile making in Portugal. You do have to leave the tiles for them to be fired dry, which was fine for us, but we didn’t know ahead of time so just something to in mind

Nice idea - It was very entertaining. Even if you can't paint (like me) you are supported and can take your own tile home. Thank you again!

Create Authentic Art - Wonderful opportunity to learn more about Portugal’s tile history and create one as a souvenir! Beatriz was a helpful host who helped me with technique. No artistic talent required.

Fun activity for an all-round Porto experience - This was a really fun thing to do with a teacher that took the time to help us with our painting technique and gave lots of advice. The glass of port and biscuits was a nice touch too. I really enjoyed making my tile and I got to make one with my own design too which was a bonus! My only reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that it felt a little rushed, and I would have liked more time just focusing on the history of tiles is Portugal (this may just be me though!). I also think it’s useful to know that you have to collect the tile later, so don’t do what I did and book this just before you have to go to the airport! Recommended activity for Porto fun!
