    Description

    Hi, I'm Esther and I'm the mother of an 8-year-old boy named Tao. As a Single Parent family we share a very beautiful project related to Parenting, Art and people. We have recently settled in a rural house, in a small town between sea and mountains called Balmori (in Asturias) located on the Camino de Santiago. In this new life project we want to create a space for Art and Ceramics and also a lodging. We also run an educational space through an association. At this time we would love to receive people who have concerns with art, education, who like to cook, recycle furniture or help with tasks to fix the house. The most important thing for us is that you are a friendly person, curious, eager to learn and share.

    Hola, soy Esther y soy madre de un niño de 8 años que se llama Tao. Como familia Monoparental compartimos un proyecto muy bello relacionado con la Crianza, el Arte y las personas. Hace poco nos hemos instalado en una casa rural, en un pueblecito entre mar y montaña llamado Balmori(en Asturias) situado en el Camino de Santiago.
    En este nuevo proyecto de vida queremos crear un espacio de Arte y de Cerámica y también un hospedaje. También a través de una asociación llevamos un espacio educativo.
    En estos momentos nos encantaría recibir a personas que tuvieran inquietudes con el arte, la educación, que le gustara cocinar, reciclar muebles o ayudar en tareas de arreglar la casa.
    Lo más importante para nosotros es que seas una persona amable, con curiosidad, con ganas de aprender y compartir.
