Good to know

In this workshop, participants learn the traditional technique of tile painting, as practiced for centuries in Portugal. This authentic technique involves firing the pieces in a high-temperature kiln, which requires a process of at least 24 hours until the tiles are ready. We always prioritize teaching the traditional technique, due to its artistic richness and cultural value. However, we understand that some participants have limited availability. Therefore, we also offer a faster painting technique, which allows the tile to be taken home on the same day (without firing). For those who choose the traditional technique, the delivery of the pieces is arranged directly with the participant. If shipping is necessary, the shipping costs are the responsibility of the participant.
