-Painting and polychromy of the different spaces to be decorated.
APPRENTICESHIP
Ervigio Jiménez Polo started as an apprentice with Carmen Rodríguez, an enthusiast for this type of decoration, which is what she mainly passed on to him. She was a specialist in carving and polychromy.
Ervigio has studied in depth and developed many aspects of his craft, works which were not carried out before, since it was all mainly done at the workshop.
Now the training and learning of crafts is much more complex, therefore, it is rather difficult to find people who know about them, and especially, people who are real enthusiasts about these crafts.
TEACHING
Mainly one person, who has spent over five years at the workshop and who has learnt many aspects of this craft. However, this craft implies a never-ending process of learning and improving…even Ervigio himself says he still has a lot to learn and mainly to carry out.
