 Conference Presenter – Priscilla Vassão AlibertiThe diploma says she’s an architect, but ever since she remembers, Priscilla Vassão Aliberti was making jewely – out of colorful telephone wires and epoxy clay as a child, to fine silver wire and seed beads in her teens and finally finding a silversmithing class when in college. She had been making traditional silver jewelry for years when she came across Art Clay Silver in 2003 and immediately fell in love with the material. A little later she was being appointed the Brazillian distributor and begun working in the promotion and teaching of this beautiful technique.Priscilla has extensive training in several aspects of jewelry making, from traditional silversmithing techniques, stone setting, repoussé, mokume gane and wax carving to lampworking glass, enamelling and polymer clay. She is an Art Clay Senior Instructor and has personally certified over 150 new instructors in Brazil. Facing some very unique artistic and economic scenarios, she has focused on making metal clay more accessible, affordable and widespread, and has developed a few specific techniques in that direction along the way. Conference Presentation Overview: Surface Decorations Are you tired of the stamped–brushed–tumbled–patinated routine? Step up your game by adding a new pallete of surface decorations using paste, syringe, stencils, faux granulation, inlaying and incorporating different metals and gold to silver clay. |
