About this tour
Learn the centuries-old Catalan art of trencadís—decorative mosaic made from broken ceramic tiles—in a two-hour hands-on workshop in Barcelona. You'll craft your own piece inspired by the iconic flower-shaped panot (street tile) design, guided by a master artisan whose credentials include UNESCO heritage work and official recognition from the Generalitat de Catalunya. Leave with a finished work made entirely by your own hands.
Highlights
- Create your own trencadís mosaic to take home
- Work directly with an accredited master craftsperson
- Learn techniques rooted in Gaudí's architectural legacy
- All materials and tools provided on-site
- Accessible workshop with wheelchair access throughout
What to expect
You'll begin with a brief introduction to trencadís history and the panot design tradition. Your instructor will demonstrate tile-cutting and placement techniques before you start your own piece. Expect to select coloured ceramics, arrange them into the flower pattern, and secure them to create a finished mosaic you'll carry away the same day. The pace is relaxed—no prior experience needed, and the instructor adapts to your speed. The workshop feels intimate rather than rushed.
Good to know
All materials are supplied. Bring only yourself; food isn't permitted but soft drinks are available. The space is fully accessible, including for wheelchair users and those with prams. Service animals are welcome. Wear clothes you don't mind getting ceramic dust on.
