Program
Indulge in the mesmerizing artistry of Antoni Gaudí with Mosaiccos, where you'll immerse yourself in the captivating world of Trencadís—a remarkable ornamental technique that harmoniously blends aesthetics with sustainability. Following a brief introduction to the life and work of Gaudí, you'll be equipped with the tools and techniques needed to craft your own Gaudí-inspired mosaic using the Trencadís method.
Under the expert guidance of our instructors, you'll learn to handle the mosaic tools with finesse, meticulously arranging broken ceramic pieces to create a masterpiece of your own. Whether you opt for a charming photo frame, an eye-catching centerpiece, or a pair of exquisite coasters, the choice is yours to make. For our younger participants under 10, pre-cut acrylic materials ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, while older participants delve into the intricate world of ceramics.
After the workshop, delve deeper into Gaudí's legacy as you explore the awe-inspiring Torre Bellesguard, a hidden gem among his architectural marvels. Standing proudly on a site steeped in over two millennia of history, this lesser-known masterpiece seamlessly blends modernist flair with Gothic grandeur. Gaudí conceived the tower as a homage to the estate's medieval heritage, once graced by royalty and papal dignitaries.
Experience a meticulously curated tour through the annals of time and history as you ascend to the tower's terraces, where panoramic vistas of Barcelona unfold before your eyes, justifying the aptly named Bellesguard—Beautiful View.
