The Experience: What You Can Expect

The workshop takes place at the Fun Art Club, a charming studio located in the bustling heart of Palmas’ old town. The setting is one of its greatest assets—surrounded by cafes, shops, and the lively energy of Mallorca’s historic quarter. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a warm, inviting space filled with art supplies, ready for your creative journey.

Choosing Your Artistic Path

The workshop offers two main options: Pottery Painting and Pottery Crafting. Whether you prefer to decorate a pre-made item or sculpt your own from raw clay, there’s something for all.

Pottery Painting is ideal if you want a quicker, more straightforward experience. You pick from a variety of pre-formed pieces—think mugs, bowls, or small decorative items—and then unleash your creativity with colorful paints and designs. After your session, your piece is kiln-fired, making it durable and ready for use or display. As one reviewer noted, “They have many options of what type of pottery you want to make or paint,” and the end result can be shipped across Europe or internationally, which adds to the value for travelers.

Pottery Crafting involves working with air-dry or natural clay. The air-dry option is perfect for those who want to finish their piece and take it home the very same day. You’ll spend the first hour sculpting, shaping, or building your piece with guidance from friendly instructors. The second hour is dedicated to painting your masterpiece with vibrant acrylics—everyone can make something unique, regardless of skill level. One reviewer mentioned, “Our works turned out great,” highlighting how approachable and rewarding the process can be.

The Crafting Process

During the workshop, you’ll be guided by experienced instructors who emphasize a relaxed, judgment-free environment. As one guest put it, “No pressure or judgement. Really friendly hosts and nice to mingle with other travelers.” That friendly vibe encourages experimentation and fun, making it a great activity for solo travelers or groups.

If you opt for natural clay, your piece will be fired and glazed afterward, resulting in a durable, food-safe item that can be used daily or displayed as art. This process takes about three weeks, but the shipping options make it feasible to have your creation delivered home—at a reasonable extra cost, according to reviews.

Additional Details

The studio is equipped with working tools and paints, ensuring you have everything needed to create your personal piece. The class size tends to be small, fostering a more intimate experience, but punctuality is essential—arriving more than 15 minutes late means missed entry, which isn’t refundable.

For those concerned about language, the workshop is conducted in English, making it accessible for most travelers. If you’re hesitant about booking, the option to reserve and pay later provides flexibility, especially if your plans are still unfolding.
