What to expect
Marta will walk you through the fundamentals of breaking, arranging and setting coloured tiles—the same process Gaudí employed across Barcelona's landmarks. Adults focus on completing a decorative box while younger participants work on their chosen animal outline. The pace is unhurried; this isn't about speed but understanding the logic behind each piece's placement. By the end, you'll grasp why these mosaics feel distinctly Catalan—playful, organic, resourceful. The studio stays climate-controlled and peaceful, a deliberate contrast to the crowds outside.
Good to know
The workshop welcomes all ages and fitness levels. Wheelchair users will find the space fully accessible, as are nearby public transport links. Bring a sense of play rather than perfectionism; mosaic rewards experimentation. Finished pieces are yours to keep.
