More about this activity...
What will you do?
Become a Cusco artist for a day. Learn in a participatory way with local artists, two of Cusco’s traditional art techniques: glazed ceramics and colonial Cusco gilding.
Meanwhile, we will teach you how to make the Torito de Pucará -the guardian of the Andes-, and you will learn about its origin and history. You will learn about the processes of glazed ceramics – lining, enameling and painting – and then we will work with sheets of bronze, aluminum, copper and acrylic paint in intense colors: the technique of Cusquenian Colonial Gilding. At the end, you’ll take home your own work of art: two little bulls from Pucará.

Learn about host Totemiq / Berenice
I am a visual artist and cultural manager. In 2016 I founded the creative laboratory of Cusquenian artists Totemiq and the project Totemiq Experiences, dedicated to create Peruvian pieces of contemporary art and design. My proposal is linked to concepts of syncretism or miscegenation, and enhancement of popular art and traditional techniques of artistic production in Cusco. I also offer tourist experiences aligned with local art, uniting tradition, contemporaneity and living culture.
