The workshop will be held at the Tambunting Villonco Hall of the National Museum of the Philippines for three days, March 7, 9, and 12 , 9am – 4pm. A film featuring the work of a Filipino craftsman will be shown. Included is a brief introduction/lecture on the history of decorative arts apart from the hands-on sessions. The fee of Php 5000.00 includes materials. A certificate will be given at the end of the course to those who have successfully completed the workshop.
Ms. Manahan specialized in Stucco Marmorino, Lacca Veneziana, Scagliola at Centro Europeo per Fomazione degli Artigiami in Venice, Italy under Prof Mario Fogliata.

Ms Manahan was part of the team that restored Gota de Leche, a project which received honorable mention by UNESCO for Heritage Conservation in Asia. She is also consultant for the restoration of the façade of the Diocese of Pasig.
