The project, which will run between late September and November, aims to bring craftsmanship closer to citizens and transmit knowledge across generations. The workshops will be held in Puerto del Rosario, Betancuria, La Oliva, and Tuineje, with a maximum of ten participants per course.
The Minister of Crafts, Lolina Negrín, highlighted the importance of EnRedArte in keeping craftsmanship as part of Fuerteventura's culture and valuing handmade work.
“"The objective is for craftsmanship to continue being part of Fuerteventura's culture."
The program begins on September 30th at the Casa de la Cultura in Puerto del Rosario with two introductory workshops: Palm Basketry and Majorera Hat Making, both taught by Ángel Nolasco Herrera and held on Wednesdays until November 25th.
Starting October 1st, three more workshops will commence. At the Archaeological Museum of Betancuria, José Aradas García will teach the Fuerteventura Indigenous Pottery Reproduction workshop (advanced level) on Thursdays until November 26th. At the Tindaya Cultural Center, the same instructor will offer the Majorera Pottery workshop (introductory) on Tuesdays and Wednesdays until November 26th.
Finally, the Las Casitas Cultural Center in Tuineje will host the Canarian Pottery workshop, taught by Delfín Díaz Almeida (introductory), on Thursdays and Fridays until November 20th.
Enrollment for the EnRedArte workshops is now open through the Cabildo of Fuerteventura's form. Places are limited, and the initiative aims to ensure the continuity of trades that are part of the island's cultural identity.
