Seville, beautiful and diverse

The workshop consists of auxiliary craftworkers led by a monitor who coordinates all the tasks involved in the process of making the mosaic. With the learning of this technique, it is possible to obtain mosaics that are very similar to those made by the Romans.

It is a neighbours' courtyard transformed into a space for creative craftsmanship that combines avant-garde with tradition. In this space, some people perform their works on demand, while others devote themselves to selling their creations in this space.

The workshop located in the industrial main street in Seville since the 19th century is the greatest example of Sevillian and Spanish goldsmithing that keeps its essence in the 21st century.

Since its foundation in 1925, this family-owned company –now in its third generation– has specialised in the manufacture of hand-made carpets and tapestries, mainly, using Turkish and Spanish knots. The company’s track record and outstanding work over more than 90 years have made it possible to sell its products throughout Spain and across the world.

The Hernandez family takes to heart the Hydraulic Mosaic tradition. In 1927, José Hernández Gamero settled in Lora del Río, founding the first mosaic factory in the town. The family clan would come to be known in the town as the “loseteros”.

Forja Antonio Gonzalez is a workshop specialising in the manufacture of authentic wrought-iron artworks. He makes Sevillian-style wrought-iron grillwork and all kinds of furniture. He is one of the few craftsmen that continues with the ironwork tradition. First, he designs the object on paper and then he works it in iron to create the floral figures that are part of the grillwork

The visitor will be able to see a magnificent exhibition of the most emblematic handcrafted pieces. Works of ceramics, handcrafted furniture and lutherie, characterised by the construction of guitars.
