Description
Held in a studio located within a traditional Maltese townhouse, this activity offers a hands-on introduction to the heritage of Maltese tiles. You will receive a brief historical overview before creating a 10 x 10 cm coaster-sized tile base using white cement, suitable as a souvenir.
Your tile does not require baking, allowing you to paint it and take it home immediately in one of the artist’s handmade boxes. The instructor guides you through the entire process—from concept to completion—including pattern design, mold transfer, and painting. You may design your own pattern or choose from available templates.
