Remolino Arts
... Hand-Made Pottery and more
About Us
Robert is the artist in the family. Robert was originally trained as an arithmetician. He always liked to dabble in art, but never felt he was very good at it. During a break between classes in college, he stumbled across the arts studio in the student's center and has been hooked on pottery ever since. Robert is also the chef in the family and is well-known by his friends to make and decorate a mouth-watering cheesecake.
Linda is the "detail" person in the family. She takes care of the paperwork for the family. After a lengthy illness, in 2001 Linda taught herself how to design and maintain websites. She has worked on 10 websites and has learned something from each one. She currently maintains 7 websites. Robert's grandmother taught Linda how to tat and she has been enjoying it every since.
We decided to call our business "Remolino Arts" in honor of Robert's grandparent's ranch, "El Remolino". Robert has many fond memories of summers spent there as a kid. Remolino is Spanish for whirlpool.
Robert enjoys participating in exhibits and artisan's markets. Here are some of his past shows.
