Barcelona Handmade Ceramic Tile Making Workshop

Make ceramic tiles with artisans
at a pottery studio in Barcelona

The workshop lasts about 2 hours at the Taller Gingell studio, which you can see directly from the street. Built in the 1890s, the space was used for generations as a bakery and a fishmonger before becoming a studio. The instructor speaks English and Spanish.

Learn the basic techniques and tools of ceramics

Before you start, get an introduction to ceramics and learn about the materials, tools and basic techniques used to make tiles. You can also learn about the history, traditions and various techniques of artisan ceramics.

Shape the clay and decorate your tile with underglazes

Using the apron, clay and tools provided, make your own ceramic tile and decorate it with your own designs using vibrant AMACO Velvet underglazes. Even without any pottery experience, you can complete a unique tile of your own.

Receive your finished tile a few weeks later

Your tile is finished at the studio with kiln firing and glazing. A few weeks after the workshop, you can pick it up at the studio or have it shipped to your home (shipping costs extra). You can choose either to take home the tile you made, or to leave both of your tiles at the studio and choose a tile finished by Taller Gingell.
