About me
I’m Álvaro Indias Salguero
I studied Computer Engineering, worked for a few companies and one fine day said: that’s it, no more bosses. I bought a run-down house in the old town of Badajoz and set up my workshop there.
That was more than ten years ago. Along the way I spent four years studying modelling at the School of Arts and Crafts, and I learnt that no material holds out if you put the hours in.
