Spellbound III, “Möbius” style 3D filigree earrings
3D filigree draws on the technique of tension-fitted or Russian filigree (filigrana). But, instead of being limited to slight curves or shallow domes, you can create truly sculptural filigree that nearly defies the laws of physics.

What You’ll Make
Our first project will be a small sculptural pendant to discover all the technical considerations needed to bend and form soldered filigree. Next we’ll unlock the secrets for designing your own sculptural forms as Victoria unveils her strategies and processes. Expect to create two-three, 3D filigree jewelry projects.
Note: the course is for people who have already studied beginning or Russian filigree with Victoria. You need to know the basics of tension-fitted filigree first before taking this course.

What Others Have to Say
“I want to say thank you to for all the hard work you do to share the wealth of knowledge that you have. The infusion of skills and hours of live help that you invest into our lives, well it’s beyond the $ amount we pay. It is life changing. Thank you!

“Victoria, you are the Michael Bublé of teachers. When he’s on stage it’s all about the audience, not about him. His ego is nowhere to be found, and you teach the same way.
You love what you do, and it comes through in your teaching. Thank you for that!”
Elisa Geraldine Brophy
Artist
“Victoria teaches techniques used for millennia to create many of the great works of art one can see in museums. She has found tricks that streamline and improve the processes, and she uses them to make strikingly contemporary pieces rooted in the ancient world. The number of places one can learn these skills in the US can be counted conveniently on one’s thumbs. In Japan, Victoria would be considered a national treasure, and she would be funded to pass these skills on to the next generation.”

“As an educator myself, I appreciate the sheer amount of time you put in the preparation of all those materials and videos. With the care you take you have raised my work to another level. These courses prove that you really care about your students and their success.”

About Victoria:
Victoria Lansford is an artist and educator who combines historical metalsmithing and illumination processes with cutting edge technology to create contemporary interpretations of centuries-old craft forms. With a creative career spanning over 30 years, her genre-busting and award-winning art explores feminine power and ranges in scale from intricate art jewelry and miniatures to architectural metalwork.
Exhibitions and publications of Victoria’s artwork include the Museum of Contemporary Craft, Rochester Institute of Technology, the Georgia Museum, the Lark 500 series, Metalsmith and Jewelry Artist magazines, Home and Garden Television, and the monograph Radiant Echoes: The Metal Mastery of Victoria Lansford. Recent large-scale commissions include a copper room divider and Eastern repousse doors for one of the world’s largest superyachts and the digital/hardbound book Giving Voice, which she wrote, animated, and illustrated.
She has taught and mentored thousands of metalsmiths around the globe through her online school, sold-out workshops, instructional series Metal Techniques of Bronze Age Masters, and iPhoneTM app iMakeJewelry. As a result, she has created a renaissance for metal techniques, including Russian filigree, granulation, and Eastern repoussé. She is currently working to research the dissemination of metalsmithing techniques through ancient and Medieval cultures.
