The Insular Craft Company has scheduled ten courses for professionals in training or who want to recycle and expand knowledge and skills. The Minister of Employment, Carmen Luz Baso, explains that the objective is to contribute to preserving, disseminating and promoting trades, “in search of generational change due to its high cultural and heritage component.”
The first five courses, face-to-face between March and June, are for beginners and will focus on chestnut, cane and wicker basketry, rosette making, fretwork, embroidery and cutlery. Another five are planned from the second half of the year that will attend to a more advanced state of ceramics -enthroning or enamel-, leather goods and traditional clothing. The introductory ones will all take place in La Orotava, at the Ibero-American Crafts Museum, except for Basketry, which will take place at the Casa Amarilla, in San José, San Juan de La Rambla.
