    Wow… the experience was excellent. Although this was my first time working with wood, my husband who also attended the workshop has much more experience and Timbe (the teacher) is a very well traveled and experienced teacher who held space perfectly for the different levels of experience between us and the other two people in the workshop. He is very knowledgeable about the wood, sustainability and woodworking in general. I was further impressed by his ability to seamlessly switch between all of the participants and sense how much help each of us needed at any point. Timbe has a great knack for ‘seeing’ the potential of each bit of wood, much like Leonardo Da Vinci would find the figure within the marble, Timbe, extracts the artefact from the wood, and guides you to do the same. It’s exciting to be able to choose what you would like to create within the allotted time. And… although woodworking can be dangerous, we were guided through safety measures at each stage. Plus.. high quality photos are taken throughout the process (with your permission) and shared with you after the event. It’s very satisfying to create something with your own hands, it gives you a profound understanding of what goes into each hand made item and it’s a real bonus to have your very own souvenir to keep at the end. Silvana and Timbe look after you throughout the 3hr workshop process. They genuinely enjoy interacting with different students from around the world. A superb experience that I am happy to recommend.

    One pass. From the first moment we walked through the door we were treated like old friends. Entering his workshop and exhibition was like entering a world full of magic. After an explanation of the life cycle of the pita/ al gave, he presented some of his works. Too bad I didn’t have my phone ready to capture the expression of our youngest of 11 years when listening to the sound of the flute. Silvana and Timbe captured in a very unique way last morning with them, taking pictures. I'm attaching some. Entering the workshop gave us several options of what we could do and hands on! They explained and taught us how to handle the tools and always aware of our needs, doubts and questions. A pleasure to be able to do something with our own hands, together and in the family and also WITHOUT TECHNOLOGY. Let's repeat for sure and go back to grandparents. They took advantage of the drying time of our works to serve tea and juices and cookies. Quite a detail. I have many will go back and make a guitar!!!😜🤣😀

    What to expect

    Experience a three-hour immersive journey where sound, creativity and human connection come together around the agave — the pita — one of the most iconic silhouettes of the Almerían landscape. Through music, creation and active participation, you will discover alongside the “artisan of the desert” Tim Bernhardt the surprising possibilities of this extraordinary plant, known as the “plant of a thousand wonders”. This is not simply a place to observe or attend a conventional workshop. Entire families, travelers, musicians, artists, children and older people participate together in intuitive and accessible processes that awaken curiosity, conversation and genuine connection between generations. A shared space that gradually becomes a deeply human and creative experience, where agave wood reveals a warm sound and a different way of creating with your hands. Among natural aromas, musical instruments and collective creation, children lose track of time while many adults discover new ways of looking at the world around them. And the question most often heard at the end is always the same: “When are we coming back?”.
