Make a Gaudí-Inspired Mosaic in Two Hours & Walk Out With It

You spend two hours learning the Trencadís mosaic technique Gaudí made iconic, designing and assembling your own ceramic piece under instruction. The staff finishes it with grout while you watch, and you take home a completed, lasting artwork by afternoon or the next day — no experience or artistic skill required.

The Experience

Colorful ceramic shards catch the light as you lean over a wooden frame, arranging them into a pattern that's entirely yours. This is Trencadís, the expressive mosaic technique that Antoni Gaudí made famous across Barcelona's most recognizable buildings — and in this 2-hour workshop, you're learning it the way Angelika Heinbach's instructors teach it, hands-on and without any prior experience required. You'll work with real tools and materials, guided through each step, choosing whether your finished piece becomes a photo frame, a box, an animal figure, or whatever shape calls to you.

The workshop happens in Barcelona, and the whole process stays tactile and immediate. Your instructor walks you through the tools first, then you're selecting ceramic pieces by color and composition, arranging them on your base, and experimenting with how light moves across the gaps. Once you've finished the design work, the staff applies grout to seal everything together — that's the part that takes precision, and they handle it to ensure your piece lasts. If you workshop in the morning, you pick it up the same afternoon. Afternoon sessions mean you collect it the next day, which gives the grout time to cure properly.

The space is wheelchair accessible, and the workshop suits all fitness levels because you're sitting and working at your own pace. Public transport gets you there easily. Angelika Heinbach holds a Master Craftsman diploma in Trencadís divulgation, awarded by the President of the Generalitat de Catalunya, and the workshop carries BIOSPHERE Certification 2026 — which means the materials and methods reflect a commitment to responsible tourism. This isn't a tourist factory; it's a real craft space where the person running it has credentials and a philosophy behind the work.
