Anton Alvarez - Arts and crafts
Anton Alvarez is an artist and designer with education from the Royal College of Art in London. He works at the intersection of engineering and traditional craftsmanship, creating sculptural works using proprietary machinery and production processes.

Alvarez has exhibited internationally and received much attention for his ability to push the boundaries of both form and function in contemporary craft.
