Wonderful ! Highly recommended! - Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Egle was absolutely delightful.She was able to give us some tips on where to see some great art. Also suggested the Crystal Gardens which we probably would have missed & they were worth seeing for the incredible views!

Our favorite souvenir - I would recommend this workshop to anyone. One of my favorite things about Portugal was all the lovely tiles, so this was a really fun way to commemorate our trip. My boyfriend and I did this together and he really enjoyed it, even with no background in art. There are patterns to choose from or you can do a design of your own and add some fun tweaks to make it yours. Eglé kindly shipped them to the US for us – you can see a photo of us painting them and what they looked like once we got them finished. We can't wait to display them in our home!
