The culture of Colombian carved masks

Woodworker Manuel Pertúz offers a visit to his workshop Artesanías Toro Miura, where there will be a demonstration of his craft. Visitors will be able to discover the production process for the making of a carved mask, from the selection of wood and carving to digging, assembling and final wood decoration. The visit will also include the telling of stories, which is one of the oldest traditions in the Colombian culture. Manuel will talk about his life and legacy and the transmission of knowledge. There will also be an opportunity for visitors to create their own craft under the guidance of this master woodworker.
