These are a great new way to get to know Cusco and leave a positive impact. They were set up and are run by local artist friends and I highly recommend them.
To see what we offer such as ceramics, street photography and silver making- click here.
These experiences generally last about 3 hours, so are ideal to slot into your time in Cusco.
Also ideal if some, but not all the family would like it- as you are only apart for a few hours.
The aims:
- You get hands-on and learn a mix of traditional and modern techniques with the help of renowned local artists
- You take home a souvenir that is a far cry from the mass-produced, average souvenirs that most go home with
- You help maintain traditional Cusco art techniques which were in danger of being lost
- You help restore pride- both in these techniques, which many previously saw as outdated and in people´s roots
- You help artists to make a living – both by helping them sell their art and by income from the tours
