It was our first time tile painting. Rita, our teacher was great, personable and shared the history behind the art. She was helpful with guiding the process and touching up where needed for the final result. Definitely recommend Rita and this experience.

Oh my gosh we had the most fun with Daniela!! We were a group of 12 all ages of women and some artistic and some not. She was so helpful and patient! If you are looking for an activity in Porto with someone that loves people and tile art this class if for you! The class did take the full amount of time. If you are a novice crafter choose a simple pattern...the more intricate the harder the trace and the painting. Feel free to experiment with color! I choose a pattern and then used colors I loved and not what was used in my pattern.

The tile painting workshop was such a unique and relaxing activity. Rita was an amazing host, friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable. She guided us step by step and made the whole process really enjoyable, even for someone with no artistic background. The shop is beautiful and very well organized, with a lovely atmosphere. I felt truly inspired and proud to take my painted tile. Highly recommend this workshop to anyone visiting Porto looking for a creative and authentic Portuguese experience!

Painting my own tile in Porto was such a special and calming experience. Rita guided us with so much care and knowledge. I felt like I was truly connecting with Portuguese culture. I’ll treasure the tile I painted forever.

Amazing experience in the heart of Porto. Teachers were fantastic hosts. Great vibes and a super fun afternoon. As well as the art of painting tiles, we learnt about history and drank cocktails. What an incredible experience! Many thanks to the whole team 🙏 We also did some shopping, as there are lots of Portuguese handicrafts that we can't find anywhere else. Don’t miss it if you are visiting Portugal!
