Trencadís

Trencadís is a mosaic technique that involves creating decorative surfaces using broken ceramic tiles, glass, or pottery pieces. Instead of cutting tiles into uniform shapes, artisans use irregular fragments, arranging them to form intricate patterns or images. This method, popularized by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí, allows for innovative, textured designs with vibrant colors and organic shapes. Trencadís is durable and flexible, making it ideal for decorative architectural features like walls, benches, and domes, adding artistic detail and creativity to structures.
