These pieces can be seen in the patio and in a room intended to show visitors the work of Manos que ven. The teacher José García shares his word with us, we ask him why his workshop bears that name and he answers: “I am blind, disabled… I got glaucoma and deprived me of my sight. I don’t see anything at all, only that my touch and hearing have developed, and we are working as if I were seeing with my hands”.
