Born in Madrid and based in Galicia since the eighties, Leopoldo Enríquez found what today is his job as a craftsman when, by chance, he saw an advert on a series of courses on leaded glass that were taking place in the institution Real Sociedad… Económica de Amigos del País in Santiago de Compostela. He received training and earned his qualification by this institution (1982/83), attending classes by Mr. José Mosquera Vieites, who awakened his enthusiasm for stained glass windows and their traditional techniques. Although the training offer in this discipline is not abundant and Leopoldo Enríquez is largely self-taught, he has tried to acquire knowledge of different techniques throughout his professional career. 

He’s been a member of the Galician Association of Artisans (“AGA” in Spanish), ever since 1988.

He is registered in the General Registry of Crafts of Galicia since the 25-09-1997, with the Qualification of Artisanal Workshop number 185 and the so called “Carta de Artesano” number 916, registered under the activity of Stained Glassmaker.
