About this experience
Begin by choosing a unique handmade sculptural ceramic frame from a curated selection and transform it into a one-of-a-kind keepsake in a professional artist studio in Porto. Personalize your frame in your own style using vibrant colors, playful patterns, Portuguese-inspired motifs, and decorative details. Choose between traditional ceramic glazing for an authentic kiln-fired finish or acrylic paints for a piece that's ready to take home immediately. A personal photo can also be printed on the spot and placed inside your finished frame, creating a lasting memory of your Porto trip. Throughout the workshop, you'll receive guidance from a professional visual artist, along with insider recommendations for Porto's best cafés, contemporary art galleries, ceramic shops, vintage stores, and other creative places beyond the usual tourist route.

Itinerary and highlights
Discover one of today's most distinctive home décor trends by creating a handmade ceramic statement frame in a professional artist studio and gallery in Porto. Begin by choosing a unique sculptural ceramic frame, individually hand-built and prepared in the studio, then decorate it in your own style using vibrant colors, Portuguese-inspired motifs, or bold contemporary patterns.
Transform your frame into a photo frame, mirror, jewelry holder, or decorative wall piece. If you choose a photo frame, your favorite picture can be printed directly from your phone and fitted before you leave, creating a lasting memory of your Porto visit.
Choose between two finishing techniques: acrylic paints, professionally sealed and ready to take home the same day, or traditional ceramic glazes, kiln-fired for collection or shipping later.
Along the way, learn about Portuguese ceramics and receive personalized recommendations for Porto's best contemporary galleries, cafés, vintage shops, design stores, and creative neighborhoods. Before leaving, explore the studio's collection of original paintings, handmade ceramic jewelry, and contemporary ceramic objects.
