Metàfora is an independent, multidisciplinary art school in Barcelona.
Our flexible Studio Arts Program is designed in 6-week blocks starting several times a year.
You can join the course for a few weeks up to 2 years.
Our student groups range from recent high school graduates to adult professionals with a university education.
All classes are taught in English.

Each student is given a personal studio space within our old factory complex in the heart of Barcelona. Students combine their studies with classes, tutorials and individual studio work.

The program is very hands-on the materials, and contains a wide range of classes with different tools and techniques. These include clay sculpting, welding, screen printing, installation, performance, life drawing, among many others.
