What to expect
You'll arrive at the workshop and receive an introduction to trencadís, the mosaic technique central to Gaudí's work and Barcelona's street tiles. The instructor will demonstrate cutting and laying techniques, then guide you through designing and assembling your own panot-inspired piece. You'll work hands-on with tiles and adhesive, learning how to compose your mosaic as you go. The session wraps with your finished piece ready to take home—either dried on-site or after a brief curing period, depending on the materials used.
