The Mayor of Marbella, Ángeles Muñoz, visited this Tuesday the mural made by the students of the Art and Culture ceramics workshop located ... in the Miraflores neighborhood, a project driven by Rosa Rodríguez, a teacher retiring after 40 years dedicated to teaching this artistic discipline. The mayor, who was accompanied by Alejandro González, the councilor for the Marbella West district, highlighted the work developed by the teacher over this time and the involvement of the participants in an initiative that will leave a lasting mark on the environment where this training activity is taught.

"It's a very beautiful tribute to Rosa," Muñoz said, noting that "it is a wonderful initiative carried out with her students so that this mural remains in the collective memory of the city and the Miraflores neighborhood, where the course headquarters are located." Furthermore, the mayor reiterated the municipal commitment to these types of cultural proposals. "The City Council will continue to promote Art and Culture workshops, like this ceramics one, which are very affordable and even subsidized for people with fewer resources," she emphasized.

For her part, Rodríguez expressed gratitude for the recognition received and gave a very positive review of her professional career at the helm of the workshop. "Students usually stay four years in the training, two at a basic level and another two in a more advanced course, where they learn all the techniques of this art," she explained. The teacher also highlighted the bond created with the many people who have attended her classes over these four decades. "I am very happy for these 40 years alongside my students, whom I have tried to teach mainly respect for clay," she stated. Regarding the work, she mentioned that "this mural was born as a legacy for my students and also for the Miraflores neighborhood, where our workshop is located."
