Workshop

During this cultural journey, you will have the opportunity to explore the countless artistic expressions rooted in the island. You will enjoy the path that starts from pottery to stonemasonry, where an emblematic artistic couple will open the doors of their home-workshop to share their work and lifestyle. Among delicate marbles and beautiful basalts you will learn anecdotes and experiences of their intense and interesting professional career. The journey continues to Arrecife, the island’s capital, where two renowned cultural centres are located. We’ll start with “El Almacén”, a building that stands on the junction of two 19th century dwellings, and serves as one of the best examples of bourgeois domestic architecture in Arrecife. As a historical reference, it should be mentioned that between 1933 and 1970 the building was the headquarters of the Arrecife School of Arts and Crafts. Later, in 1973, the Lanzarote artist César Manrique bought the building and remodelled it. It currently houses exhibitions of different artists.

The next stop will be the Museum of Contemporary Art (MIAC), located in the Castle of San José, a former military fortress anchored in the island’s capital. It has one of the largest collections of abstract art from the second half of the 20th century in the Canary Islands.

You will also enjoy the unique atmosphere of a restaurant with furniture designed by César Manrique, beautiful sea views and a seventies atmosphere.

Our cultural day will conclude in the workshop of a multidisciplinary artist and craftsman. There, you will witness this artist’s mastery of watercolours, silks, ceramics and more. Immerse yourself in his creative environment! Experience each touch and texture to discover the story they tell.
It is a true delight to witness the skill and passion that this artist brings to his work!
