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.

Victoria's award winning work has appeared in juried and curated shows, including most recently Radical Alchemy, Portsmouth, VA, Metal Inclinations 2, the Society of Midwest Metalsmiths, CraftForms 2010, Wayne, PA, National Art Encounter, Naples, FL, CONTAIN - Vessels and the Art of Containment, Luke & Eloy Gallery, Pittsburgh, eXtreme Tea, Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, The Art of Opening, the Wood Turning Center, Philadelphia, Putting the Band Back Together, the Georgia Museum, Framing the Art of Jewelry, Museum of Contemporary Craft, Portland, OR, and Exploring Boundaries: Evolutionary Metal, Rochester Institute of Technology, NY. Her artwork has also been featured in many books and magazines, including Metalsmith magazine’s 2007 Exhibition in Print, Chasing & Repoussé by Nancy Megan Corwin, The Jeweler’s Studio Handbook, by Brandon Holschuh, multiple issues of Lapidary Journal: Jewelry Artist magazine, Art Jewelry magazine, and on Home & Garden Television’s 2007 season of That’s Clever.

Victoria's 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 Eastern Repoussé and Chasing (DVD, 2009) and her application for the Apple iPhone™ iMakeJewelry have sold throughout Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and North and South America.

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 earned her Bachelor of Arts in jewelry design and silversmithing at Georgia State University in 1993 where she studied with Richard Mafong and Gia Gogishvilli. Her artwork is in private collections around the world and is available in art galleries around the United States and through her website, victorialansford.com. She creates and lives in Atlanta, Georgia. Her internationally collected artwork is available in art galleries around the United States and through this website.

SNAG Toronto part 4

I'll leave my Toronto report with a few notes about the conference lectures and presentations. I'd have to say that there certainly was a mosaic of diversity in the 3+ days at the Royal York Hotel. From Damian Skinner's stoic keynote series on the jewelry making/marketing universe in his musical New Zealand accent, through a series of very short "rapid-fire" presentations by a wide variety of artists, to the Professional Development Seminar that lashed the artists and their works to the…See More
