Jorge Pedraza
My name is Jorge Pedraza. Thanks to my father, who taught me in his workshop when I was growing up, I started with this craft at a young age. I was helping him by the time I was 7 years old, and I saw it as a fun game. When I was 13, I realized that I quite enjoyed making the pieces and I could get more involved in the family business without neglecting my studies.
