ACCEDER Hebrew Free Loan
By Nicole Grouman
Micaela began to create when she was little, by the
time she was ten she was making ceramic pieces. With her
hands she loved moulding things from scratch. As you walk
into her studio and look at all those wonderful creations you
can tell that she is committed to her craft.
In the quiet street of Lemos in the neighbourhood of Chacarita,
the artist is up to something new. Many items are placed
over run down wooden tables. They will be put later into her
new oven she was able to purchase, thanks to the loan she
received. She has students that come to her studio to learn
how to make ceramic objects, like bracelets, mugs and vases.
Micaela is a young 27 year old art historian with a degree
from UBA (University of Buenos Aires). The possibility to do
what I want is what I like most about my job. I used part of my
father’s work space for my studio. I also sell my pottery in
artisans sales which helps me get more students. It wasn’t
planed, it just happened progressively.
Her friends say she is proactive and has leadership qualities.
She joined BRIA which helped her get back to community.
My experience there was wonderful. I wasn’t expecting to make
such a great group of friends, she ads with a smile on her face as
she carves out her ceramic bowls.
I applied for the loan because I wanted to expand my studio
which included working more and getting a new low consuming
oven. It was definitely a necessary investment. I read
about ACCEDER because I saw their web site. The whole process
was very simple. It took me some time to get organized and
gather all of my documentation. I asked my friend and my aunt
to be my guarantors, which they agreed to eagerly. I could tell
that they had a genuine interest in helping me and I felt
comfortable with the process.
