The instructor will walk you through selecting your hexagonal tile design and demonstrate the cutting and placement techniques. You'll then work hands-on, breaking and arranging coloured tiles to build your own piece, with guidance throughout. Safety materials are on hand.

Good to know
This suits anyone wanting a short, hands-on creative experience tied to Barcelona's architectural heritage—no prior craft experience needed. It works well for families with kids aged 5+, though under-5s must have an adult present. The workshop is fully wheelchair accessible and near public transport. Note: food isn't permitted on-site, though soft drinks are allowed. The one-hour duration is tight but realistic for a guided intro; don't expect a museum-level deep dive into Gaudí. Gratuities aren't included in the price. Group size isn't specified, so confirm if booking for a larger party.
