About
the artist:
Internationally
acclaimed artist, educator, author and publisher Victoria
Lansford creates one-of-a-kind wearable pieces of
art and art objects that evoke the mystery and splendor
of ancient masters, yet are infused with her own provocative
vision. She has pushed the boundaries of design and
execution in many old world techniques, including high relief Eastern repoussé, Russian filigree, chain
making, and granulation in over 20 years of comprehensive exploration of metal
as art.
Her instructional publications in the series, Metal
Techniques of Bronze Age Masters, including Russian Filigree (DVD, 2006), Rings (DVD, 2008), All Chained Up (paperback, 2008), and the latest edition Eastern
Repoussé and Chasing (DVD, 2009) have
sold throughout Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and
North and South America. She has also recently released
an application for the Apple iPhone™ iMakeJewelry available at the Apple AppStore.
Victoria's award winning work has appeared in juried
and curated shows throughout the United States and
has been featured in many books and magazines, including Metalsmith magazine’s 2007 Exhibition
in Print, Chasing & Repoussé by Nancy Megan Corwin (Brynmorgan Press, 2009), The
Jeweler’s Studio Handbook, by Brandon
Holschuh (Quarry Books, 2009), multiple issues of
Lapidary Journal: Jewelry Artist magazine, Art
Jewelry magazine, and on Home & Garden Television’s
2007 season of That’s Clever.
A long time educator in the arts, she is committed
to sustaining ancient techniques by passing
on this ancient knowledge to other artists. She
served as head of the Jewelry and Metalsmithing Department
at the Spruill Center for the Arts in Atlanta from
1997 to 2004, creating its comprehensive program,
and was an adjunct professor at the University of
Tennessee at Chattanooga. Victoria continues to teach
and mentor students throughout the world.
Victoria’s internationally collected artwork
is available in art galleries around the United States and through this
website. She creates and lives in Atlanta, Georgia.
