We booked a tile painting class with Algarvian Roots and were very happy with our experience. Margareta was passionate about the craft of painting tiles in the authentic Portuguese way and demonstrated many techniques for creating two beautiful tiles. We were moat excited to receive our finished tiles just a day after they were painted, as well as several photos of our experience. Thankyou Margareta for all your guidance!

We attended a tile painting class last week and we thoroughly the class with Margareda at ColaborArt. What a great experience!

This is my second pottery workshop with Algarvian Roots and it was as positive as the first. The vibe begins with the playful garden and Jose and Francisco maintain the feeling throughout the afternoon. Even the cat wanted to hang around. Francisco kindly gave us some insider advice on hikes near Monchique and fossil footprints near our base in Salema.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our tile painting workshop with Margarida. She was very patient and helpful, especially with the very detailed designs my husband chose to paint. She made sure we practiced using the brushes and techniques on practice tiles before attempting to paint an actual tile. I now truly appreciate the skill it takes to create handpainted tiles. Margarida also delighted us with a variety of Portuguese music, explaining the different styles. She also had lovely snacks on hand. Everything was very well organized and communication with Francisco was great. Highly recommend this experience is you are interested in truly traditional craft.
