Had the most amazing time learning about Portuguese azulejos and I also painted some myself at a workshop back in December 2019. Alba and Marisa started a project called Os Azulejos do Porto in 2016, being the only public and online catalogue of all the facade tiles you can find in Porto. Since then they have been researching about facade tiles, the factories, making processes and painting techniques. To support the project and promote this heritage they also sell tiles and organise workshops.I would recommend you to visit Alba and Marisa next time you are in Porto. Thank you ladies, I will see you again for sure :)

Fantastic workshops! Alba and Marisa are so knowledgeable and passionate about preserving the history of the important Portuguese tile industry. The tile painting workshops are fun, friendly, informal and a great way to spend an afternoon in Porto. Highly recommended!
Did a tiles tour and workshop yesterday and had the best experience. Our tour guide Jade was lovely and impressed with her knowledge and passion. Thanks so much for sharing this insight in Portuguese history with us! Being able to create your own tile at the end of the tour was the perfect end of a very memorable experience. Great concept and best value for money. Would totally recommend! Thanks so much!
Wonderful women, wonderful project, beautiful shop and tiles! Create your own, with great guidance and buy traditional patterns and new artist's azulejos for very reasonable prices!
This class with Alba & Marisa is a must do while in Porto! We got to learn a little bit about the history of the tiles in Portugal and paint our own. It was so much more meaningful than buying a few at the souvenir shop. They were able to mail our tiles to our next destination in Portugal (because it takes a few days to bake them) and we picked them up no problem. Communication was lovely throughout, a can't miss activity!
What a wonderful experience. A real treat to be taught by two women who care so much about the preservation of one of the most beautiful aspects of this city - it's tiles. Let's hope the government understand the importance of their work and support them accordingly. Thank you for a lovely afternoon!
Lovely workshop which let you with a different vision of the famous tile art of Porto.
We signed up for the tile making class in Porto and we are sooo glad we did. The whole experience was amazing and fun. The 2 lovely ladies started by explaining a little about the history and importance of tiles in Porto and then spoke about their cause what they are doing and how doing those ateliers help finance their project. Really great idea what they are doing. We each got our own tile and stencils and we where able to pick up the finished tiles the next day which was perfect as we didn't stay long in Porto. Definetly worth it.
