So inspiring!
This week of hand building ceramics with Wendy far surpassed my expectations. She first asked me what I was interested in learning and then designed the course especially for me. Wendy was extremely knowledgeable about each step of the process, and I found my time with her to be not only informative, but very inspiring as well. I can't wait to try out everything she taught me! I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in ceramics.

Wonderful Taller Gingell intensive hand building.
This review has been a long time coming! I absolutely enjoyed my intensive course and Taller Gingell did everything within their means to accommodate my learning experience with professional teaching and master level instruction. I highly recommend the intensive hand building course and absolutely endorse Taller Gingell! Do not leave Barcelona without attending this class, you will be forever changed and will learn everything you need to know about hand building. I enjoyed the company of Eric and Wendy, they were generous hosts and let me design my own courses. I expanded my technique and learned sculpting, hand building, mold making, and kiln testing glazes and under glazes. My ceramic ability has definitely grown during this week. Thank you Wendy, Eric and team!!! Was a week filled with wonderful experiences! I would recommend to anyone, and at any level.
Response from the operator: Hi Richard, Thank you so much for taking your time to share about your experience at our Barcelona ceramics studio. It was great meeting you and learning about your ceramic ideas and techniques. Thank you for sharing with us. We're glad you enjoyed the experience. We hope you enjoy your ceramics when they are ready. From everyone at Taller Gingell, it was nice meeting you. Best regards, Wendy and Eric

The course is intensive and very well prepared! I enjoyed every moment because Wendy and Eric are great teachers, they follow everything you do and give suggestions on how to improve your ceramic skills. The atmosphere in the studio is very pleasant. All recommendations for this course :)

Number one experience in Barcelona!
Incredible! I had 5 days with Wendy one to one. I just can’t recommend this course highly enough to anyone new or experienced in hand building ceramics. Wendys knowledge and her ability to teach and share her experience and expertise were outstanding. Her working studio is a great spot. I’m going home with a teapot, vase, cup and ceramic stamps that I made in completely my own style, and will be bisque fired and well packed when I pick them up in a couple of days Next time I’m in Barcelona I will be doing this course again and I can’t wait to get home now and put everything I learned into practice.
Response from the operator: Hi Jill, We're glad you enjoyed the experience. It was nice to meet you. Thank you so much for taking your time to share about your experience at our Barcelona ceramics studio. It was nice meeting you. We hope you enjoy your ceramics and they all arrive home safely. Best regards, Wendy and Eric

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Intensive Ceramic Handbuilding Course: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Barcelona.
How much does Intensive Ceramic Handbuilding Course cost?
+
Prices start at $495 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Barcelona usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Intensive Ceramic Handbuilding Course take?
+
Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Barcelona is not rushed.
Is Intensive Ceramic Handbuilding Course worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Barcelona, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Intensive Ceramic Handbuilding Course?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Intensive Ceramic Handbuilding Course suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Intensive Ceramic Handbuilding Course?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Barcelona can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Barcelona and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Intensive Ceramic Handbuilding Course start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Barcelona within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Barcelona?
+
Barcelona's Gaudí sites are capacity-limited and the official timed tickets go first, so most of the market is resellers with a guide attached. We weight those heavily on whether the guide is an architecture specialist. Beyond Gaudí, the tapas crawls in Gràcia and the Montserrat day trips carry the highest rankings in the city. On Outty we rank every Barcelona experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Gràcia Tapas and Vermouth Crawl, Costa Brava Tour: Kayak, Snorkel & Cliff Jump from Barcelona, Girona & Dali Museum Small Group Tour with Pick-up from Barcelona. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Barcelona?
+
May, June, September and October. Sagrada Família light is best mid-morning. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Barcelona?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
