After a brief presentation of the technique of Antonio Gaudí, el Trencadís, you will learn how to handle the tools and how to create your mosaic artwork in Gaudis mosaic style:” el Trencadis”. 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).

Awesome for crafty kids - My 10 year old daughter is very crafty so I knew this would be a great experience for her. It did not disappoint! Two hours flew by and we walked away with some pretty cool works of art channeling our inner Gaudì.

Loved this mosaics class! - It's so perfect to make a mosaic in the city of Gaudi -- and the team at Mosaiccos made sure we ended up with beautiful souvenirs. They are informative, encouraging, and helpful. They gave us a terrific quick intro and got us working in minutes. There are plenty of fun projects to pick from, and they gave us advice and support along the way. It's a small studio, but seems able to accommodate everyone. We went as 2 adults speaking English, but we saw them speaking several languages, working with larger groups, and little kids. We highly recommend it.

Must do for families visiting Barcelona! - We went as a family with our 6 and 9 year old sons and had an amazing time. It was great to have a hands on experience after visiting many of Gaudi's sites around Barcelona. We didn't want to leave and now that we are home our kids are asking if we can make more mosaics at home! Having our pieces to take home as souvenirs was an added bonus!!! Thank you to the kind staff who were all so helpful and warm. Also great playlist!

A must-do for every visit - We visited Mosaiccos with our two children - 12 and 8 - in late November. What a treat! The staff were knowledgeable, encouraging, and eager to help us make good use of the time. Our youngest was done first - the gift of confidence in youth! - and they kept his hands busy. During our next visit, I would likely opt for the longer time both because we enjoyed it so much, and because we're over-thinkers! The pieces we came home with were treasures, just as the two pieces my husband and daughter made 5 years ago with them are. I tell everyone visiting BCN about this amazing experience. Something worth noting: you will select, assemble, and glue your glass or ceramic pieces. Mosaiccos will grout and seal your pieces, which takes time. That is where some of the confusion in other reviews appears to come in. In other words: this is NOT something you should wait for your final or penultimate day to do! Also, there are very specific pickup times which may necessitate arranging local delivery which is an additional cost. That said, it worked perfectly for us: we were there on a Saturday morning, our pieces were delivered to our hotel that night while we were just outside town visiting family! Make this part of your time in Barcelona; you won't regret it and will have a tangible memory of your time in this amazing city.

Great mosaic making experience. - This was such a great class! They explained the history of mosaic art and helped us create our own mosaic to bring home with us. It was relaxing and filled with conversation. They helped answer questions and gave us recommendations for other things to do in the area. The churros down the street were yummy! Would definitely recommend this!

Totally worth it - The end result really looked like what I expected after 2hrs but I could've spent the whole day there had my budget allowed for it. The team is friendly and helpful so ask a lot of questions and communicate your struggles while crafting so they can guide you better. I highly recommend this to art lovers, those who enjoy crafting or just those that like more hands on activities because you don't need to have any skills, just patience and enthusiasm. It was a great activity between museums, one gets tired of walking!

An unique artistic opportunity - It was super fun to do the mosaics and to replicate the technique pioneered by Gaudí. I gifted the experience to my partner, and we were delighted.

Meh… - A strange experience. We loved working with our hands and being creative. But there was very little instruction - it wasn’t a particularly educational experience, but decent to pass time.

Bad Service - The service was awful. When we arrived, rather than bring greeted, we were asked how many days would we be here. Which was irrelevant to the activity and also a personal question to ask. When I asked why they asked me that, they said it would take 4 days for them to return the artwork to me. We were not offered nor received the free square that was included. We asked for the tea, coffee, and water that was included in the package; there was only water if you asked for it. It was strange that the artwork would take 5 days, yet it plainly states that it would be done at the end of the day. After everything was finished, they finally told me that I could come pick it up in a few hours.
