...The Big Step...

Hello dear Hiver's, I hope you are super well and pleased to write you again this wonderful anecdote about the evolution and growth of the family tradition.

After 3 years of hard work and with a lot of passion to the art of lutherie and above all to the commitment and responsibility to carry out one more generation of instrument maker of the Figueroa family, I decided to take The Big Step, to leave the Balcony/Workshop in my house to formalize in an own infrastructure My Workshop.

That physical space belonged to the Don Julio Soda Fountain, my father's business that was active for 38 years in the city of Cumaná providing excellent food and drinks, in addition to a super good service, remaining in the memory of many people in our city and visitors.

This big step of leaving my home to move to this place to work, came with the formal registration of my workshop and the creation of my brand, something fresh and innovative, a name that represents me and proudly mentions in its corporate image the Figueroa Dynasty, a family that has been dedicated since 1905 to this beautiful art.

The first days in my new space were important and full of anxiety and joy, because I had many ideas for remodeling and future projects in order to contribute to the formation of manufacturers in order to strengthen the culture and tradition of Sucre.

When I started the remodeling, I counted with the support of a neighboring mason that according to my instructions we were giving shape to this wonderful space destined to work the lutherie. Weeks later we had the first stage of the remodeling project ready and I happily continued with the orders and the manufacture of instruments for the stock.

Months later and full of excitement and joy I continued with the second stage of the remodeling, the space was already more comfortable and spacious, a bathroom was built and some areas for the storage of raw materials.

Little by little and since 2017 we have continued remodeling the workshop and equipping it with machinery and tools for greater efficiency and effectiveness of work, with the aim of working much more comfortable and accurate, as well as providing an excellent experience for customers and visitors who come to the workshop every day.

Currently we are in the fourth stage and we are conditioning and improving the facade of the workshop, soon a post showing how everything was for the knowledge of the general public and this wonderful community Hive Sucre.
