DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK
Viarca is a business dedicated to the manufacture, restoration and maintenance of artistic stained glass windows.
From the very early stages of his first works as an artisan, Alberto Cascón Martín –starting the business in 1985 – has carried out many works of both new creation and restoration. He makes use of all the different techniques associated with this branch of the craft: leaded stained glass windows, Tiffany technique and fusing.
Once his basic training in Segovia came to an end, he started working in Málaga, when there was no professional working in this particular craft in the city. Thanks to a great amount of study and work he has come to perfect his mastery in those techniques he had learnt, reaching the point of being able to solve any sort of issues which could arise in the process, while also being able to convey creative and innovative solutions both for new and restoration works linked to heritage. Today, he carries out restorations of the highest quality.
For years, his workshop has been the most important one in Málaga, having a large workforce at certain moments.
APPRENTICESHIP
He learnt from the master Mr. Rafael Davía Ramos, in Segovia.
TEACHING
Apart from the many apprentices he has had training in his workshop, he has also given class in the School-Workshop Molina Larios.
