Cash!
Rebecca_D, October 2026
This experience was amazing. The tutor was informative and friendly. Everything ran smoothly and it was a hugely enjoyable experience. The only reason it's getting 4 stars instead of 5 is that they only take cash payment. When buying cork protection to turn your beautiful tile into a trivet or just for safe transportation, cash only. The shop also has some beautiful items to purchase but again cash only.

We enjoyed everything...

We enjoyed everything about the tile painting experience. Well organized, and helpful staff. I’m far from having any artistic abilities but was pleasantly surprised at my finished piece. It was a fun evening!

Brilliant tile painting and cocktail experience in Porto
Susan_R, October 2026
Great way to spend a couple of hours and create a unique memento from Portugal. There were plenty of patterns to choose from, or if you’re more adventurous, you can either bring your own design or draw a freestyle picture. Very enjoyable experience.

New Appreciation for Tile
William_W, October 2026
Let me start by saying this is a positive review. Now that I’ve painted my own tile I realize I have to look at every building in Porto I pass by to compare the work I did with what’s actually on the building. I’m disappointed that there’s so many Portuguese painters that are better than I am. The class itself was a blast. The instructors were great, just remember to push really hard on the graphite paper.
