Paint portuguese tiles in a local artist’s private studio in Porto
Step inside the warm, personal creative studio of an architect and tile artist for a masterclass in traditional portuguese tile painting. In a small-group session, enjoy coffee, tea, and freshly baked pastéis de nata as you paint your own azulejos.
Welcome to Azuleique Azulejos
This is not a shop. Not a classroom. This is, first and foremost, our personal creative and working place.
Founded by architect, tile artist, and dedicated mom Ana Desimone, Azuleique Azulejos is a boutique studio nestled in the coastal breezes of Matosinhos, Porto, specialized in the research of Portuguese tile heritage and the creation of author tiles.
After years of working for companies and travelling, this project was created as a bridge between professional passion and family life, allowing us to seamlessly blend one with the other. Here, mornings smell like coffee, ideas dry by the window, and our child plays while we paint. Every corner is warm, honest, real—a lived-in, loved-in space.
Now, we are opening our doors to a small community of tile lovers. For that, we’ve created a tile-painting masterclass that is intentionally warm and personal, where art becomes the bridge between tradition and new friendships formed around the table of our studio.
So, join us, feel at home, paint your own tiles and let yourself be part of a tradition older than you can imagine.
