Study Abroad in the Heart of Barcelona: Screenprinting with Watercolors
with Lluvia Cisneros and Romson Regarde Bustillo
Monday-Friday, Oct. 6-10, 2025 (5 sessions)
Join Pratt for a creative adventure in Screenprinting with watercolors, in the heart of vibrant Barcelona—home to artistic legends like Miró, Gaudí, and Tàpies. Join the talented Maestra Lluvia Cisneros at LaMaldita Estampa, a welcoming studio in the lively Eixample neighborhood, to explore the playful and expressive possibilities of this unique printmaking technique. Blending watercolor painting with screen printing and mixed media, this hands-on experience invites you to discover new ways of making art—whether you're a seasoned artist or just curious to try something new.
The experience doesn’t stop in the studio! Our own Romson Bustillo will host five days of exquisite lunches and tapas outings, paired with guided afternoon cultural tours in the city he calls his second home. Together, we’ll visit iconic landmarks like Gaudí’s Sagrada Família, the Picasso Museum, and take inspiring walks through the magical neighborhoods of Gràcia and El Born.
You are responsible for securing your own lodging; we will share a variety of recommendations to fit your style and budget—from lively, affordable hostels, mid-range stays, to elegant, higher-end accommodations.
The tuition covers everything you need to fully immerse yourself in the experience. All workshop sessions and art supplies are provided, along with delicious lunches and Spanish tapas, a festive welcome dinner, and a closing reception. Tuition also includes entry fees for museum visits and unlimited access to local transportation, including trains, the metro, and buses.
Whether you’re an experienced artist or just beginning to explore your creative path, this program is designed to be welcoming, inspiring, and unforgettable. Join us for an enriching adventure in art, culture, and connection.
Added Option (available for an additional fee): Extend your journey by one more unforgettable day to witness a traditional Catalan correfoc—a spectacular local fire festival in nearby Sant Feliu de LLobregat where costumed devils dance through the streets with fireworks and drums. It’s a thrilling, up-close glimpse into the region’s rich folkloric traditions. Come for the art, stay for the culture—and leave inspired.
No experience necessary.
