Taller María José Franco
María José Franco
Textile, painting, installation, drawing, and printmaking
The space is designed as an atelier where experimentation and play are encouraged, with creation being the priority. Various techniques are explored: painting, drawing, collage, and primarily textile techniques such as hand embroidery, vertical loom, tufting, punch needle, kantan, and sewing machine. Experimentation with a torch for wire sculptures is also possible. The idea of the atelier is to combine techniques to explore new formats and create without pretensions.
