The Instructor and Group Dynamics
The instructor, who is fluent in English, Spanish, and German, plays a crucial role in setting the tone. Guests rave about her kindness and helpful tips; one review specifically mentions she “came and gave us tips wherever we needed her.” However, some have observed that she sometimes appears to be balancing multiple groups, including those working with clay or pottery, which could mean slightly less individual attention at times.
Group sizes tend to be small, fostering a warm environment where everyone can participate comfortably. Whether you’re a complete novice or have some background in art, you’ll find the guidance sufficient to produce something you’re proud of.

No need to bring your own supplies or worry about additional costs. Payment options are flexible; you can pay by card, cash, Bizum, or PayPal, making it convenient even if you’re on the go.
This inclusive approach enhances the overall value, especially considering the costs of art classes in other settings. You’re paying mainly for the experience, the instructor’s expertise, and your finished artwork—a lasting memory of your time in Palma.
