A relaxing and enjoyable art experience, even for non-speakers of Spanish

5.00We had a lot of fun making a fileteado porteño sign on a metal plate. The brushes, paint and the metal “canvas” were all unusual to us, so we learned a lot. My 10-year old son and I were the only people in the class who didn’t speak Spanish. Still, we were able to successfully follow along and had no issues with this experience. The instructor was knowledgeable, supportive and patient. And she makes beautiful fileteado porteño signs herself that we were able to see. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys making art or participating in relaxing local activities.
Very good class and tour
