Faustino Álvarez Álvarez, is a rural dweller who dedicated himself to the construction of stone walls, especially in villages and along roadsides. When he was a child, he learned to make baskets with the older adults in his village, but he never dedicated himself to being a basket maker or to making a living from the craft, since he had another job and his responsibility in the fields of his home. However, when he turned 65 years old, he retired and in the free time that his retirement offered him, he decided to take up traditional basket weaving and some carpentry work. She began to make all kinds of baskets (some of them highly complex) and other products that can be made with the same weaving technique with natural fibers, such as lampshades, napkin holders, home decorations, etc. Although Faustino is a skilled artisan with a remarkable talent for traditional basketry, he has never sold his pieces (he gives them as gifts to family or friends), he has not had the intention of making a business or giving basketry classes.
