What makes the Trencadís technique special?

Trencadís is a mosaic technique developed by Antoni Gaudí, used to create artworks from small, irregularly shaped ceramic pieces. The broken ceramics are made from tiles or other ceramic materials, shattered into various sizes and assembled into diverse patterns. Glass pieces can also be used as materials. The fragments are glued onto flat or shaped surfaces and then grouted.

Gaudí frequently employed this technique in his architectural works, particularly in the Basilica of the Sagrada Família, Park Güell, Casa Milà, and Casa Batlló. Gaudí crafted intricate, organic forms characteristic of the Modernisme style.

The artistic touch of Gaudí's Trencadís mosaics is immediately recognizable in his architectural works.

How does the Trencadís mosaic course work?

You will start with a brief introduction to the Trencadís technique. You will see some professionally crafted mosaics in the shop and view examples of Antoni Gaudí's work in photographs.

Next, you'll choose a template to use as a reference, such as a salamander, tray, coaster, or picture frame, and select your preferred material: glass or ceramic.

Then, let your imagination run wild. You'll cover the template—or a design of your choice, like a football crest—with ceramic or glass fragments and secure them in place.

Once your artwork is completed, you'll leave it with the team for grouting. You can pick it up the next day, fully finished. The best part is, you'll depart the art studio with a unique and handmade souvenir.

No prior experience is necessary. Suitable for adults and children alike.

The outcome of the course is always a unique souvenir, one you can admire long after your trip to Barcelona. It doesn't require the genius of Gaudí to produce something beautiful. Even if your planned salamander turns into a whale, it's still your unique creation.
