Peso da Régua Tile Painting Workshop

We'll meet at 9:30 am at the Marta Barata Studio, Shop and School of Peso da Régua, where our tile painting workshop will take place.

In the 15th century, Arabic influence made the Al-zuleique fashionable in Portugal, leading to its presence in various convents, palaces, houses, and gardens, establishing it as a significant element of Portuguese architecture. Before we start, we'll examine a selection of tiles featuring figurative, ornamental, and pattern designs.

After learning about the history of this art form, we will commence painting. Once you finish your piece, it will be fired in the urn, marking the end of the workshop. If desired, the tiles can be sent to your home.
