Description
HI. I live in the countryside in South Catalonia in a valley amongts olive and almond trees 10 minutes from the mediterranean coast. It is a rural quiet area with high speed internet. I am an artisan who creates orgonite for many years. I use metals, resin and minerals to create different pieces that go well against radiation. My workshop is right here next to home. I also have a small organic garden, i live with a small dog and have chickens too for fresh eggs. I have travelled the world extensively and love the contrast of different cultures and customs. If you enjoy living in nature and want to learn how to make these artisans pieces yourselve i would love to welcome you in this exchange. I lead a simple , calm and quiet life. I try to keep my mind in balance. i am open minded and can talk about any issues. i am a free independent thinker who enjoys learning and discovering things on my own.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
To start with you can learn a new profession with someone who has over 15 years experience. If you are looking also for quiet life in Nature this is a good place to relax. Closest town is 5 km away and the sea coast 15 minutes away by car. 30 minutes away there are two bigger towns and the Ebro Delta where the Ebro river meets the sea. There are plenty of paths to walk and cycle. Kayaking, cave exploration, mountain hikes are some of other sports you can practice in the area.

Help
I would need support with my work about 3 to 4 hours daily and you are free to help out in the garden or small home improvements if you enjoy it and feel like it. I think the basics can be learned in 15 to 20 days or so of practice. At first you will be helping out making the most simple items so that i have time to dedicate to the most elaborate ones myself. If you really enjoy it and love the stay, it could become some extended colaboration. What we do is mix resin with metals and minerals (semi precious stones for the nicer pieces) and put them into different moulds to create different shapes ,sizes and effects. Sometimes the pieces are filed and polished. The process involves preparation of working area and ingredients needed. The mixture, the pouring and the hardening (with heat) of the pieces. ONce ready, they are packed and sent. Gloves and vapour mask is worn for safety and cleanliness. The work is done in batches and it is more than ok to take some coffee/tea breaks between them ;-d
Around the house there are a couple things i am finishing on. The ceiling is being refurbished with wood and some electric need to be finished. Outside there s a wooden deck almost complete on its final stages. I divide my working time with his things so would be nice to speed it with some extra hands.
