A
master of Bronze Age gold and silversmithing techniques,
Victoria Lansford creates one-of-a-kind wearable pieces
of art and art objects that recall the mystery and splendor
of the ancient world, yet bring forth her own provocative
vision. She has pushed the boundaries of design and
execution in many old world techniques, including Eastern
Repoussé, Russian
Filigree, Chain making,
and Granulation in over
19 years of comprehensive exploration of metal as art.
Victoria's
award winning work has been featured in Metalsmith
magazine’s 2007 Exhibition in Print,
