Creative workshops in Barcelona: pottery, candles, jewellery and more

Some afternoons I don’t fancy another terrace or another exhibition: I want to make something with my hands and take it home. Barcelona is full of small studios offering one-day workshops, with no experience needed and all materials included.

Here is my pick by theme. I checked prices and length on each studio’s website in November 2026; they can change, so confirm before booking.

Tips before booking

Book ahead, especially for Saturdays, and ask which language the workshop is in. Many pottery pieces need firing and are collected days later. Workshops make a great gift and are one of my favourite unusual things to do in Barcelona on rainy days: find more ideas in Barcelona when it rains.
