About this tour
Make your own raffia bag from scratch at a Barcelona workshop run by practising artisans. You'll spend two hours selecting colours, handles, and personalisation options before stitching together a functional carry-piece you'll actually use. Sip cava and nibble snacks whilst learning how this craft has endured, then walk out with a one-off souvenir that holds real skill, not trinket status.
Highlights
- Choose from thousands of colour and handle combinations
- Stitch your own name into the finished bag
- Learn raffia craft secrets from working artisans
- Sip cava and eat snacks during the session
- Take home a fully functional, wearable creation
- Fully accessible workshop space
What to expect
You'll arrive at a working studio stocked with materials, tools, and examples of completed pieces. An artisan will walk you through the raffia tradition and the bag-making process, then guide your hands as you construct your own. Most of the two hours involves hands-on work—selecting components, weaving or stitching sections, and customising details. It's not rushed; you're learning a skill, not mass-producing. By the end you'll try on your finished bag and understand why it took genuine effort to make.
Good to know
Minimum age 18 to drink cava, though under-18s welcome to participate without alcohol. The workshop is fully wheelchair accessible with accessible public transport nearby. No private transport included; plan your own journey to the location. Wear clothes you don't mind getting materials dust on.
