We’re Gazete Azulejos, a devoted tile studio in Porto preserving the art of traditional Portuguese tiles. We hand-paint faithful replicas of historic designs using classic techniques, and we share the craft through tile-painting workshops in Porto.

Hand-painted Portuguese tiles, made in Porto

We create faithful replicas of historic Portuguese tile designs, hand-painted using classic techniques. Our tiles are made to order and can be used for kitchens, bathrooms, fireplaces, wall panels, and small decorative projects. Explore the shop to see our current collection of patterns and sizes.

Tile-painting workshops in Porto

Join our tile-painting workshops in Porto to learn traditional azulejo decoration techniques. You’ll paint your own tiles with guidance from our atelier, and leave with a finished piece and a deeper understanding of Portuguese tile culture.

Research and documentation

We don’t just reproduce patterns, we study them. Alongside our tile-making and workshops, we research traditional Portuguese azulejos, from their history and iconography to the ceramic techniques used across centuries. We also document Porto’s façades through our ongoing photographic catalog, Os Azulejos do Porto, to preserve what still exists and reproduce designs with accuracy.
