The Art of Ceramic Glazing in El Born

This workshop takes place at the Casa Panot Creative Hub, a studio in Barcelona’s lively El Born district. The session involves glazing pre-crafted bisque ware decorated with designs inspired by landmarks like the Sagrada Família and Casa Batlló. Since the pieces are pre-made, participants focus on personalizing their glaze work rather than shaping clay from scratch.

The process is designed to be relaxing and accessible, making it perfect for beginners or anyone curious about ceramics. The warm studio environment encourages creativity, whether you’re making a cheese platter or a serving tray. After the workshop, your handmade art is ready for pickup in a few days, giving you something tangible to remind you of Barcelona.

Enjoy Catalan Flavors with Every Stroke

While working on your ceramic piece, you’ll be served a glass of vermut or regional wine. The experience emphasizes regional gastronomy, pairing the creative activity with traditional tapas and delicacies from Catalonia. The selection of food enhances the relaxed, social atmosphere, perfect for winding down or connecting with friends and family.

This combination of art, food, and drink elevates the experience beyond just pottery, offering a sensory connection to Barcelona’s culture. The authentic flavors and local beverages help create a flavorful memory of your visit.

Meeting Point and Accessibility in the City

The Finished Art and Firing Process

Why This Ceramic Workshop Stands Out

Compared to other creative experiences in Barcelona, this workshop emphasizes regional art and culinary delights. Its focus on iconic architectural designs makes each piece a personal symbol of the city. The small group environment fosters a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, ideal for unwinding.

Who Will Appreciate This Experience Most
