The area
Address
Neighborhood: Eixample
Passing through the glorious Plaça Catalunya, you enter the newer city district of Eixample, literally translated as “extension,” which immediately becomes recognizable by its more spacious streets and elegant atmosphere. The main artery of this sizable district, Passeig de Gracia, is lined with high-end international designer stores. Not to be outdone, the glitz and glamour of this zone is perhaps best exemplified by the comfortable and lavish five-star hotels that flank the divine and modernistic buildings from some of the world’s most recognized architects such as Gaudi and Montaner.
How to get there

Martin greeted us warmly and we started to work almost immediately after we discussed the type of project we wanted. He stayed with us the entire time [2 of us] and even helped cut tile to almost guarantee we would finish in the time allotted. We were able to take a lunch break, walking to one of the restuarants he recommended. Since the studio was in his home, we also had the opportunity to see European apartment living.

Arriving in Barcelona I was immediately consumed by the works of Gaudi throughout the city. Feeling inspired I found these classes online and was very excited to know that they could also be taught in English. When I arrived for my first lesson I was impressed with the depth of knowledge of the artist/instructor, Martin Brown. Not only that, I was in awe of his work displayed throughout his studio. He began our class with thorough instruction (historical and techniques) followed by plenty of time to work on a piece myself. He gave very good feedback and encouragement along the way. I took ongoing lessons because, not only did I fall in love with this form of art, but, the guidance and encouragement and inspiration continued. I met many nice people along the way ... the students in his classes were a cross representation of many countries, ages, and skill levels. I loved every minute of it (so much so, that I eventually had my daughters take classes from him). I would recommend Martin Brown over and over again.

What a wonderful time I spent with Martin learning about Mosaic. Lovely, talented artist and patient man. I would have loved to have spent longer, had I the time to do so, Would go back in a flash. Am sorry it has taken a while to catch up on all my reviews but highly recommend this activity. Have since purchased my tools and first supply of tiles. Ready to go come summer in the garden.

The 'class' is a few minutes of instruction and a bit of assistance with glue refills, at his small dinning room table like area. While Martin is a great artisan, the passing on of the art is not there, you pretty much are on your own. If that all you need is a couple boxes of tile pieces, tile snips, glue and a board, then this is the class for you. Honestly, we thought any one could have led this 'class.' Certainly not at all like artisan classes we have taken in other countries visits.

Thank you for review. I am sorry that the "class" did not come up to your expectations.
It is always useful to read and hear opinions so that I can improve or adapt to meet each persons special requirements.

In October 2015, my cousin and I arranged a class with Martin Brown. I would recommend to anyone who has experience with mosaics or a beginner to do this class with Martin. We travelled from Australia and arranged via email. Martin gave us minute details on how to travel by train or walk from our Appt. etc. The class was very informative and we learned so much. Plus we had the added benefit of talking to Martin about Barcelona and living there as a local. I adore Spain and would go back in a heart beat. Thank you again Martin from the Aussies down under.

This was such a fun thing to do in Barcelona. I went for two three hour classes and came away with a beautiful mosaic to take home with me. What a lovely memento of Barcelona. I have done mosaics before. However Martin also taught me a lot about different styles, shading and texture in mosaic art. This was a great experience and I recommend that you do this if you are interested in mosaics.

I took my 8 year old daughter for a 3 hour mosaic class with MArtin. Martin was absolutely great and his work is amazing. We had a fab time and despite my daughter not feeling 100% she later said it was the best part of her trip.

I was in Barcelona with two of my children, ages 18 and 10. The day after being inspired by our Gaudi tour, we took a three-hour private mosaic class with Martin. We all felt, and still feel, that it was one of our very favorite travel experiences. Martin was a patient, joyful teacher. He was helpful without being insistent--meaning, he jumped in when we needed him to without "taking over" our creations. He was a pleasure for us to spend the morning with, as was his dog, Alfie. And as a bonus, he gave us wonderful restaurant recommendations, which we very much appreciated. Whether you are a group of adults, or a family with children, I cannot recommend Martin's class highly enough. You will enjoy experiencing Barcelona in this unique way, and feel pride in the beautiful mosaic you will create.

My husband and I visited Barcelona recently and decided to do something different and took a class with Martin. It was so great because he was able to custom make the class according to our timings and requirements! The class itself was amazing and enjoyable and thanks to Martin, extremely easy and we love our new Mosaic art pieces! I wish we had more time! After we were done, my husband and I wanted to come back and make a bigger one! Hopefully next time we are in Barcelona :)
Thank you very much Martin, you were a delight to work with! We abdolutely loved it. One of the highlights of our trip!

Martin is a fantastic instructor. He is incredibly knowledgeable and freely shares what he knows, focuses on making sure you will do a quality job with your mosaic and is generous with all of the tools and materials needed for the class. I really love the mosaic I worked on with him. It is the best mosaic that I have ever done, and I have worked on mosaics for years. Martin taught me how to use a new type of glass that I had no experience with. He introduced me to the proper tools and techniques to cut the glass correctly, with ease, and safely. I came up with my own schedule and took a multi-day course with him. By the end of the course, I was much more confident in my mosaic design, precision cutting, and techniques to actually adhere pieces. My goal was to learn how to create faces and hands in my mosaics, as well as represent hair in a realistic way. I did just that with his help. Martin your class has really revolutionized my ability to do mosaics--seriously.
