Traditional Portuguese tile painting workshop in Lisbon’s historic Gra\u00e7a district with Rita, a 1.5-hour hands-on azulejo session at 55 euros using the authentic majolica technique with mineral pigments and real brushes to paint your own tile entirely by hand. Your tile is kiln-fired overnight at high temperature and ready for collection the following day. No prior experience needed and the workshop takes place in a cosy old shop where art meets Portuguese lifestyle.<\/p>\n
Rita’s workshops grew from small creative gatherings with friends into sessions for groups of all sizes, locals and internationals, in homes, parks, rooftops and partner spaces across Lisbon and beyond, always guided by creativity, flow and a relaxed, fun and welcoming atmosphere where anyone can explore creativity without judgment. This is a genuinely authentic encounter with one of Portugal’s most distinctive art forms, made by hand in the neighbourhood where Lisbon feels most like itself.<\/p>\n
