Perfect for experiencing some Porto geese culture :) - We ended up being the only people at the workshop. The master Eglė Norkutė was very nice, friendly and helpful! We had an amazing time and are very excited to receive our fired tiles.

Fun in Porto painting our own tiles. - We had a wonderful time painting our tiles with Eglė. She is so sweet and patience and she helped us when we needed it and offered suggestions when we were in doubt. My family and I did a Tile tour the day before to learn all about the tiles in Porto so that once we got to Eglė we were ready to paint. From my mom (80) to my kids (25,23,19) and my husband and I, we all had a wonderful time and are anxiously awaiting for our tiles to be shipped. Thank you Eglė!

Fun way to take a break in Porto! - My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and I signed us up for this workshop. We both were enamored with the azulejo tiles in Portugal and wanted to learn more about them and take the opportunity to paint some ourselves! Eglė was a phenomenal teacher and was exceptionally patient and comprehensive in introducing what would we be doing, advice for the different stencil options, and giving us tips to help make our tiles better! It was a really fun way to take a break from sightseeing and spend some time doing something creative that still felt culturally relevant to where we were. We just received our tiles in the mail a few days ago, and they looked amazing. I would absolutely recommend this workshop to anyone, regardless of skill level or interest in art, looking for a unique experience in Porto!

Highly recommend - My friends and I had a great time painting tiles. Egle was super helpful and knowledgeable. Because of the rainy weather, we met to paint in the studio. We were able to see lots of different pottery pieces as well. Highly recommend.
