FEATURED ARTIST

The act of skating and making jewelry are quite different, but then again quite similar when it comes to technical skill, precision and creativity. Santiago first started designing and creating jewelry when he was approximately 12 years old. He started at a school that taught different trades and quickly fell in love with playing and forming the metals into different shapes. As he got older, his focus started shifting more and more towards skating. He took a break from his jewelry for a number of years but has recently started creating again. 

Everyone in Chile has a lot of different names, usually at least a first name, a middle name and a last name. Add in a couple of nicknames that you earn from your friends and a skater in Chile can have upwards of five or six names. Our featured artist happens to be named Carloco.
