Sylvia Hartmann
Baden, Austria

I’m not a trained professional goldsmith,but started goldsmithing
(mainly working with silver and palladium) as a hobby about 4 years
ago, attending some classes in the beginning. Since more than one
year I am the pupil of a lady, who is goldsmith and artist, well
known for her jewelry and sculptures using textil techniques like
knitting. I myself was accepted with the Austrian Professional
Artists Association a few months ago.
