The art school of ses Madones de sa Llata is a school dedicated to Mallorcan palm heart crafts that pays tribute to Ses Madones de sa Llata, a group of artisans from Capdepera who after retirement dedicated themselves to recovering this craft that they learned from their mothers and grandmothers as children. They have taught us the trade, their art, their way of working in a circle and above all, they have taught us their wise way of seeing life.
With this school we want to transmit what Ses Madones have taught us, contribute to keeping this craft alive in Mallorca, so that there are new generations of artisans on the island who continue to carry out this beautiful trade and transmit values to society that help us to have a more natural, calmer life, in which we can be more connected with ourselves and our environment.
We are Antonella and Araceli, and you can find us on Monday afternoons and Friday mornings giving llata classes at the Fundació Sa Llavor. If you are curious and you want to try it, you can write to us at anticmallorca@gmail.com and we will give you the information of the next courses that will begin in April.
