Evening Ceramics Workshop Barcelona: Paint & Sculpt

You walk out with a finished piece the kiln has already fired.

An evening ceramics workshop in Barcelona where you choose between painting pre-made ceramic flowers with underglazes or hand-sculpting a clay portrait of your pet, then painting it. The 2.5-hour session at Taller Gingell includes all materials, tools, kiln firing and a small group setting with live instruction in English. Children from age 12 are welcome.

The Experience

You arrive at Taller Gingell in Poble-sec with an evening free and pick your project: the flower painting workshop or the pet sculpting one. Both run 18:00 to 20:30 and stay under a dozen people, so there is room to move and time to ask questions. The studio is accredited by the Generalitat de Catalunya and its work has been exhibited at the Smithsonian and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which means the space itself carries the weight of real craft—not a tourist setup dressed up as one.

If you choose flowers, you'll apply AMACO velvet underglazes to pre-made ceramic pieces, learning color theory and painting technique as you work. The underglazes are the professional kind; the colors stay vivid after firing. If you pick pet sculpting, you hand-model the clay from scratch, building the likeness yourself, then paint it the same way. Either path takes the full session and leaves you with something you made, not something you watched someone else make. The guide walks through the techniques but the decisions—the colors, the proportions, the details—stay yours.

Everything fires in the kiln before you leave, so the piece is ready to take home or have shipped if you prefer. Materials, tools, aprons and WiFi are all included. The studio sits near public transit, and the space is wheelchair accessible.

Top questions

Can I choose between painting flowers and sculpting my pet, or do I have to pick one when I book?

You choose your project at checkout—either the flower painting workshop or the pet sculpting workshop. Each runs the same 2.5 hours and includes all materials and firing, so the choice is yours based on what appeals to you that evening.

What happens to the piece after I finish painting or sculpting it?

Taller Gingell fires your work in the kiln before the session ends, so you leave with a finished, fired piece. If you'd prefer to have it shipped instead of carrying it, that option is available at checkout.

Is the instruction in English, and will I need pottery experience to join?

Yes, the guide teaches in English and the workshop is designed for all levels—no experience needed. The techniques are taught step by step during the session, and the small group size means you get hands-on guidance as you work.

How many people are usually in the workshop?

The group stays small, under a dozen people, so there is space to work comfortably and time for the guide to help each person with their piece.

Can children join the ceramics workshop?

Children are welcome from age 12 and up. The 2.5-hour session includes all materials and instruction, and younger teens often find the hands-on sculpting or painting engaging.

What is included in the workshop price?

All materials, clay, AMACO underglazes, ceramic modeling tools, aprons, kiln firing and WiFi are included. You bring nothing except yourself and leave with a finished, fired piece.
