  Victoria Lansford - creates two instructional DVDs on jewelry making.  

Victoria Lansford has two instructional DVDs:  “Metal Techniques of Bronze Age Masters: Russian Filigree and Rings”.   

These disks are uniquely Victoria and thoroughly charming.  Well planned and executed, complete, no steps left out, chock full of information not only about the specific technique but also general metal working tips.  Victoria is calm and comfortable, making you feel that everything is doable even if you never thought of alloying you own solder.   

Victoria also has two featured articles in this month's Art Jewelry magazine; ‘The Perfect Stamp is the one you make Yourself‘ and ‘Take the Next Step In Making Bezels’.

If you wish to purchase the DVDs contact Victoria at
