PORTUGUESE TILE WORKSHOP

The tile – this ceramic square, painted and glazed, is much more
than an durable wall covering. Over the centuries, it has adapted to
new fashions and tastes, and manages to contain nothing less than
our history, our culture and our art.
What we propose in this workshop is to paint tiles with motifs
inspired by our plants. We chose the traditional single-figure tile, that
emerged in Portugal in the 17th and 18th centuries. One simple
ornamental pattern in the center, in a single color – the traditional
cobalt blue.
You will visit the farm, learn about the plants produced here and
taste an infusion, with Rute. With Margarida, you will then try out
the basic tile painting techniques, taking the pieces you paint with
you.
The necessary material will be available to paint 1 tile, with
pre-prepared drawings.
The tiles will then be fired in a ceramic oven and delivered by hand
or sent by post, on a scheduled date (shipping costs paid separately)
