The Picasso process: workshop for unleashing your creativity

Pablo Picasso lived in Barcelona between the ages of 14 and 23. During those years of training, he created a circle of artists and friends which would forever link him to the city. And in 1963, it was he who wished the first Picasso Museum to be located in Barcelona.

This year, Barcelona is one of the epicentres for the Picasso Celebration, commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the painter's death. We are therefore offering this artistic workshop, inspired by Picasso's creative process.

In many of his works, Picasso used an artistic technique in which he sought spontaneity and the ability to surprise himself. Using this Picasso technique, we offer you the chance to let yourself go, to surprise yourself and enjoy the creative process, which is just as important as the result.

This workshop is within everyone's reach, a place where artistic experience is an excuse to explore creativity, have fun and make new contacts.
