SECRETS OF THE ANDES

We have long been admirers of Peruvian Retablo art and the world of Bolivian miniature crafts.
In January 2020 we set on a journey to look into these traditions located along the Andean mountains. We met with wonderful craft masters and learned us some fantastical manufacturing techniques. The pandemic put a stop to our collaboration. Now we are dreaming of the day when we can travel again and continue our search of Andean Secrets.
