Reclaiming Heritage​

During the last week of February and close to the 4th anniversary of the 2010 earthquake in Chile, Reclaiming Heritage organised a Professional Training Workshop on Stuccos with Earth.

Five local craftsmen and six architecture students from the University of Talca attended the workshop, which finished with the execution of a mural designed by Procret architect Consuelo Miranda and Reclaiming Heritage member Carmen Gómez. The design used exclusively different earth tones found in the area and was realized on a private heritage house of Chanco.

This initiative was supported by local artist Patricio Chamorro, Procret - one of the firms responsible for subsidized reparation of heritage houses in Chanco - and the local municipality, who provided tools and helped communicate the event. This workshop is the first of many planned to take place in Chanco starting in July 2014.
