Welcome to Boiler Studio. Here we work as a team!
Vacations and leisure time are for relaxing, socializing, getting to know the city's culture as well as meeting other people. In this tile painting workshop you can experience a little of these realities, because this experience is developed so that you don't have any degree of experience, just that you feel good. Enjoy and take a part of Portugal with you, the best souvenir you made and that you will remember like your tile. Oh, and during your activity you will also enjoy one (or more) cocktails with a variety of choices ranging from the famous Port Tonic to a glass of champagne.

Daniella and her team were amazing! A ceramicist herself, she shared a little bit about the history of the tiles and tile painting in Portugal. She shared the techniques of how the tiles around the city are painted and maintained and, of course, the adapted technique that we used to paint our own tiles. She also served the best port tonic that we've had! We attended the class as a family of 5 - my husband and I and our 3 girls, years 7, 4 and 1. The 7 and 4 year old loved it! Daniella kept their attention with the history of the tiles and worked with them as they painted their own, helping them when they needed it. She also offered to hold the 1 year old for a while so that both my husband and I could paint. There is also a little dog at the front of the shop that the girls loved petting! Daniella was such a warm, kind host. We had such an amazing experience and would definitely do this again next time we are in Porto!

Very nice experience creating your own tile! The group we shared table with was very nice and the host made the experience even better. She was paying attention to everyone and giving a helping hand when required. We came back before closing to pick up our tiles as we were leaving the next day. I would do it again!

Daniela was an excellent teacher! Welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful. I kind of dragged my husband along as this isn't usually his thing and he had a great time. The tiles were spray glazed rather than fired so you can pick them up after a little more than an hour. It certainly gives you an appreciation for all the beautiful azulejos around the city. I would recommend this to pretty much everyone.

This was an excellent workshop! Daniella made it very easy for everyone, the experienced artists in our group were able to use their creativity while someone like myself was able to trace a traditional tile pattern. Instructors helped the entire way advising on best techniques and helping us to make sure we got the best results. The cocktail was delicious and made the class fun. We left our completed work and returned an hour later to pick up our completed tiles.

Daniela was superb! Not only was the class instructive but she was also a delightful person! I learned a lot about tile painting and had great fun trying it. It turns out I have NO talent but no matter - it was fun trying it.
Additionally, Daniela was particularly organized and had all the tools needed ready to go so that her students could immediately focus on the painting.
I recommend this experience to adults who wanna have fun!

Daniela was a really lovely host, provided interesting history about Porto and the tiles. The tile painting class was very fun and wholesome - we never felt rushed and were able to stay until we were finished (we were the last ones there!). The port cocktails were also very nice. Definitely recommend!!

A great fun class to do whilst visiting Porto.
The class balanced learning about the history of Portugal and its connections with tiles and the practical fun but which was well taught.
