Learn Russian or open back filigree through extensive demonstrations and hands-on exploration. Participants will make a pendant, and a ring and explore more three-dimensional possibilities with the technique. Most importantly participants will learn the necessary tips and tricks to ensure success and fun through this exquisite technique. Participants must know how to solder with a torch.

Victoria’s award winning artwork has appeared in international juried and curated shows, including most recently Metal Inclinations 2, CraftForms 2010, and eXtreme Tea, She is the author of the internationally acclaimed series, Metal Techniques of Bronze Age Masters, including the DVD, Russian Filigree. Her work in this technique has been featured in many other publications, including Metalsmith and Jewelry Artist.

Those familiar with the technique from Victoria's internationally acclaimed DVD, Russian Filigree, will have the opportunity to work on more advanced projects.
