What to expect
You'll arrive at the workshop and receive a brief introduction to trencadís history and Gaudí's influence on Barcelona's architecture. Your instructor will demonstrate the technique—selecting, breaking, and arranging coloured tiles into a pattern—then guide you through creating your own piece. The process is forgiving and sensory; expect to work with your hands, break tiles intentionally, and gradually see your design take shape. By the end, you'll have a finished mosaic ready to take away.
Good to know
No food is permitted in the workshop, though soft drinks are available. Children under five need an adult present. The space is fully wheelchair accessible. Public transport is nearby if you're relying on it. Wear clothes you don't mind getting dusty.
