The 10 Best Classes & Workshops in Porto, Northern Portugal

October 20, 2021 Weston Hennigan

The town that gave the country (and port wine) its very name, Porto is Portugal’s second-largest metropolis after Lisbon. Sometimes called Oporto, it's an age-old city that has one foot firmly in the industrial present. The old town, centered at Ribeira, was built on the hills overlooking the Douro River, and today is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 14th-century São Francisco church is a main attraction, as are the local port wine cellars, mostly located across the river at Vila Nova de Gaia.

Create your own tile, with the guidance of a great sculptor with 20 years experience in the field. All necessary materials and equipment are included! Get your tile delivered at home through post later! I invite you to learn a new set of skills during you private tile making session. My biggest passion is working with ceramics. I have been doing this for the past 20 years, and by now it's more than a hobby for me. It's a way of relaxing, of self-expression, and giving my gift to the world. I want to teach anybody who is willing to try out something new, with openness and curiosity. Don't worry about never doing it before! I will show you everything and work with you side by side. I will tell you all about traditional ceramic, about the process of making tiles, styles and techniques. Together we will design and "cook" tiles. Making ceramic is a process that means burning the tile twice in the oven so you won't be able to take the tile with you on the spot but you can either take another one already made from the workshop or you can get it via post in a few weeks time. Let's become artists for a day and have fun together! :D

Gazete Azulejos

We are Alba & Marisa, the founders of GAZETE AZULEJOS. We work in the areas of ​​design and culture and we are both in love with Portuguese tiles. Together, we are building the only public catalogue of the tiles that cover the facades of Porto: OS AZULEJOS DO PORTO. We walk around the city taking pictures of tiles to complete our archive. We are also researching about its history, making techniques and designs. Everybody should know this incredible heritage. And we are here to make it happen :)
