Carla Joao Vieira da Silva
Maputo, Mozambique

I’m a self-taught jewelry artist working hard to improve my
technique, learn more and eventually achieving the dream of turning
my hobby into a full-time fulfiling career. I love incorporating
mixed materials in my work, but I’m hopelessly atracted to metals
and an organic look. I live in a very isolated area of the world, in
Africa, but the difficulty in finding supplies, having no access to
formal classes and a very slow internet have only made my resolve to
learn the stronger. I look forward to meeting fellow artists, learn
from them, and contribute with whatever I can.

I am an enamelist and a self-taught metal smith. I look forward to
all I can learn here :slight_smile:
