DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK
It is an artisanal and traditional workshop where they carry out copies, restoration and designs of lamps, lanterns and stained glass windows, apart from other pieces linked to lighting and decoration both for the outside and the inside. They work with different textures and colours for glass as well as different metals such as tinplate, zinc, copper, lead and tin.
After drawing the motives on metal sheets, they carry out the techniques of embossment and chiselling, giving shape and volume to the material. For this purpose they use cutters, burins, scissors, hammers and chisels, among other manual tools.
For the coloured finishing of the pieces they use pigments to give different tones to the original colour, to give it an aged appearance or to varnish or gild them.
APPRENTICESHIP
The craft has been taught from fathers to sons, from one generation to the next.
