What is the creative group craft activity?

Making ceramic tiles is a fun activity designed for a private group to individually work, have fun and relax. We offer individual ceramic activities for private groups that are designed to learn more about ceramics, make something while having fun as a group.
At the end of the activity each person will have created two artisan ceramic tiles. Then the tiles will then be dried, twice kiln fired and glazed. The tiles will be ready about two to three weeks after the activity.

Ceramics take a bit of time to be kiln fired. So we offer two options for your finished tiles if you are just visiting Barcelona:
- Option 1:
A few weeks later your finished tile pieces come out of the kiln and are ready to be picked up or mailed to you. Shipping is not included in the workshop.
- Option 2:
