You can decorate a photo frame, salamander, heart, fish, elephant, cat, dog, seahorse, top of a box, place mats, tray and free design of a square (for example the Sagrada Familia). The bases of the decoration objects are wood. You will work with ceramic tiles, but there is also a possibility to work with Tiffany glass (+15€ for the 2h workshop per person).

Had the best time! - Me and my friend had a great time at this class! It was a lovely peaceful environment and we were provided with all the tools to make our picture frames. Melissa was super friendly and went above and beyond helping us to finish our pieces in time which was so nice!!! Would recommend to anyone as a unique experience while visiting Barcelona! :)

We want to come back - it was amazing!!!! - I recommend it to anyone looking for a place where you can think creatively, forget the hustle and bustle of the city and bring home a little piece of Barcelona of your own. Very nice staff, helpful and patient...flexible to adapt to client's requirements. We personally worked with Melissa. My 9 year old daughter enjoyed two hours of peace, taking full advantage of her creativity and joy of crafting.

One of Our Best Barcelona Moments with Kids - We had a great time with our 6 and 8 year old. The helpers were friendly and low key. The kids loved it and we were super impressed with how nicely finished our first timer mosaics came out. Wonderful souvenir/memory!!

Fantastic family activity! - A fantastic way to spend the morning in Barcelona! We had a two-hour session with Melissa who was an excellent host and teacher, the activity was a wonderful way to tie together the trips to Park Gūell and the local museums. We all completed full mosaics and were able to collect the final pieces a couple of hours later. Melissa also kept the kids busy so I could complete my piece, she was so kind and patient with all of us. Worth every penny (or cent!), I genuinely cannot recommend the experience enough.

A hands on experience of Gaudi’s work - Our three kids aged 7-12 loved this class. They particularly liked the fact they could break the tiles themselves, although it was a little tricky for our youngest one and we had to help abit. They loved the finished result when we went back to collect them (you need to wait for grout to be applied and dry a little and come back after about 4-5 hours). It’s also in a nice part of the old town which was good to wander around. The staff were helpful and gave the kids great tips. It gave us all a new appreciation of the craftsmanship in all of the beautiful Gaudi mosaics in Barcelona.

Even YOU can be an artist! - We are not artists but walked away with four mosaic pieces that serve as a reminder of our European vacay. It was a fun, dive-in, experience. We were unable to stop back the next day so they finished it in the time that we dropped by a nearby cafe and ice cream shop, then we returned to get the final product. I would definitely do this type of activity again. It was easy to find using google maps, thank God for google maps.

Such a fun and rewarding activity! Staff were lovely! - This mosaics workshop was SO much fun! There is a bit of a learning curve so trust me when I say, you will need the full 2-hours if you've never done this before. I wish I chose the 4 hour option so I can make more pieces but hindsight. This was a great workshop and you get to bring back home your own custom souvenir. I think it's totally worth the price! The staff, Sonia and Luca were absolutely wonderful. They helped whenever you needed and also offered a lot of suggestions so that you wouldn't be left astray. They were so approachable and didn't make you feel bad if you made a mistake. There were only 3 students in the class and with all of us being solo travelers it was actually quite nice to sit around the table and chat with people from all walks of life. Please note you have to come back a few hours later (depending on your start class time) and pick up your art because the team has to grout it for you. Other than that, this was probably one of my highlights of my trip. I had so much fun and would definitely come back if given the chance! Thanks again to the Mosaicco's team and owner!
