The Fondation des Trois Cultures de la Méditerranée, through the INTREPIDA project, organises company visits and workshops run by women in order to continue to raise the visibility and strengthen the work of Andalusian and Portuguese artisans.
On this occasion and benefiting from the 30th anniversary of her first dress, we will visit the atelier of the couturier María Ramos González-Serna, where she will give a masterclass about her artisanal techniques, her working and sewing methods as well as about the different fabrics and fibres she works with.
María Ramos began her professional career in 1983 as an industrial designer. Six years later, she made her first dress for women in Madrid. After the success of this dress, she went back to her native city, Séville, to open her own tailoring and theatre costumes workshop.
The Andalusian Artisan Commission, a body attached to the Ministry of Employment, Enterprises and Trade of the Andalusian Government, has spoken out in favour of a series of recommendations in the Andalusian artisan sector. María Ramos González-Serna has received several awards from the Andalusian Council, including, in agreement with the sector, the Distinction of Master Artisan. She was the first couturier to obtain it, in addition to the possibility of using the cachet "Andalusia, Artisan Quality" (Andalusian product, artisan quality) on her products and the certification of her atelier as a point of artisan interest.
The Fondation des Trois Cultures de la Méditerranée is the main beneficiary of the INTREPIDA project (Internationalisation of Spanish and Portuguese businesswomen in the field of integration, development and alliances), in collaboration with the following partners in Spain and Portugal: Fundación Universidad Empresa de la province de Cádiz (FUECA), Diputación de Huelva, REGIOTIC, Association des employeurs de la région de Portoalegre (NERPOR) and Noyau entrepreneurial de la région d'Évora (NERE). The INTREPIDA project receives European funding from the INTERREG V programme in Spain and Portugal (POCTEP).
