Tile painting workshop in Silves

Meet a local artist who shares the knowledge about the tile painting technique.

During the workshop, the artist will first share the history of this art form and demonstrate the techniques you'll use to paint your own tile. To get you started, you'll practice some basic lines and shapes, as this is often a new technique for our participants. Then, you'll choose a classic 17th-century design and paint it on your tile. Finally, you can choose another design or create your own original drawing to paint on a second tile.

Please note that your tiles will be ready for collection approximately three days after the workshop, as they will need to be fired in a high-temperature kiln.

If you wish to receive your finished piece, we can arrange for it to be posted to you; however, the shipping cost is not included in the experience. We add a fee of 5€ to Europe and 10€ to America per order for the time and materials used for packaging and shipment bureaucracies plus the price of the shipment itself.

Once your booking is confirmed, we will send you all the necessary details via email.
