Mijas - Art and craftwork
MIJAS ARTISANS ASSOCIATION
Mijas Artisans Association was founded in March 2014 by initiative of a group of artist established in town to give answer to the need of preserving the artistic activity and advertise their crafts not only on a local or provincial level, but also nationwide and worldwide. Among its main task is also giving help and advise to beginner artists in order for them to comply with the required standards for each artistic activity.
Since its foundation the number of associates has increased up to about 30 members nowadays, and we expect this figure will only increase in the near future.
Mijas Artisans Association has three jobs in danger of extinction, such as saddlery, inlay and espartería (esparto grass works)
