This isn't just a craft class, it's a walk through three centuries of Goan identity told tile by tile. At the Centre for Indo-Portuguese Arts, Orlando, who has spent years preserving this dying art form, takes you from the origins of Azulejos in Portugal to how they found a second home on Goan church walls, heritage houses, and nameplates. You leave with more than a souvenir; you leave with a hand-painted piece of that story, made by you, under the guidance of one of the few people still keeping this craft alive in Goa.
What makes this tour special:
A rare, guided visit to the Centre for Indo-Portuguese Arts, home to a gallery of authentic Azulejos and Indo-Portuguese artwork
Storytelling from Orlando on how Azulejos travelled from Portugal to Goa and became part of everyday Goan life
A hands-on painting session where you design and create your own personalised tile
Your finished, hand-painted tile couriered directly to your home after the workshop
