Flores de Chaquira Experience
The flowers of the Caribbean inspire this experience of art and connection. Guided by women artisans, you will learn the ancestral technique of chaquiras: tiny, colorful beads that, patiently intertwined, are transformed into necklaces, bracelets, and earrings steeped in history. Each piece is an expression of identity, a tribute to nature and the traditions that flourish in the hands of those who create them.
Throughout the workshop, you'll discover that working with beads is more than just a creative act : it's an exercise in mindfulness, balance, and harmony. Each color has a meaning, each design an intention. As you create your own piece of jewelry, you'll delve into the symbolic universe of the South, where art is a form of communication and an expression of gratitude for life.
At MuchoSur, the Flores de Chaquira experience celebrates the beauty of handmade crafts, the strength of community, and the inspiration that springs forth when art becomes a bridge between cultures, generations, and hearts.
