Experiences

Step inside our workshop and discover the tradition of handmade Maltese cement tiles.

Our experiences invite visitors to slow down, learn the history of one of Malta's most beloved decorative crafts, and create a tile of their own using the same traditional techniques that have been practised for generations.

Whether you are visiting alone, with family, or as part of a group, every workshop offers an opportunity to connect with our culture through making.

What Visitors Say

  • They aren't just making tiles — they are keeping a beautiful tradition alive. If you appreciate authentic craftsmanship, this company offers a hands-on experience through their workshops. You get to prepare (and keep!) your very own Maltese tiles whilst listening to the history and their origins by Rebecca herself.

    Rachelle van Hooren
  • Really enjoyed the class with Rebecca, had loads of fun making a tile myself. She's so passionate and knowledgeable about Maltese tiles and their history. It's a real pleasure to listen, learn about tiles and their history in Malta, and make them. Highly recommend to everyone :)

    Ivan Kalentyev
  • What an experience! Rebecca was so kind and guided us through the process with such passion and love for her work. Our tiles turned out beautifully.
