The secrets of the restoration of heritage assets

Jesus has a small workshop in Motril, where he keeps real treasures as he dedicates himself to restoring religious imagery.At the beginning of the visit, we will have the opportunity to learn more about him, his acquired training, and his professional career, and he will explain what it means to be a restorer and the basic rules of restoration. We will then continue in the workshop, seeing how he restores the pieces on-site, the techniques used, and learning a bit more about the various art schools to which the images belong. We will also learn some insights into how the Virgin Mary figures are dressed, the treatment of fabrics, how the garments are placed, and curiosities and anecdotes about them.After concluding the explanations and observing the procedures, Jesus will invite you to feel like a restorer by participating in a small workshop addressing a piece. Jesus will provide the necessary tools and materials for the workshop; we just need to bring enthusiasm, creativity, and curiosity.The duration of the activity is two hours, and a minimum of 4 people and a maximum of 12 are required. To participate in the workshop and work with chemicals, it is necessary to know if you have any allergies.It is a very unique experience guided by a true expert, a must-visit if you spend a few days on the Costa Tropical of Granada.
