YEHUDA TASSA began to work in Yemenite Filigree at age of 6 and
continued for 16 years after. He was taught by his father who was a
well known jeweler in Yemen. He continued to work with his elder
brother for good number of years. Later he studied Aeronautics
engineering and received his PhD from Case Western Reserve
University. After retiring from Lockheed Martin Co, he started to
revitalize this ‘lost art’ working and teaching classes in this
authentic Yemenite filigree and granulation art in various studios
in the bay area.
Materials included:
All needed tools will be supplied at the Studio. Silver will be
available for sale at the class for $.75 per gram. Or bring your own!
