    The Art of Chasing  
    Date: Sunday, March 13, 2005 
    Start Time: 2:00 pm   End Time: 4:00 pm 
    Category: Talks and Workshops 

    Description:
    Bulgarian-born and trained Master Goldsmith Valentin Yotkov gives a
    chasing and repousse demonstration very similar to the style used on
    a number of pieces on display in the Tibet exhibition. Chasing and
    repousse are hammering techniques aimed at producing a pattern in
    relief in metal. 

    Valentin studied with the finest European artisans and has brought a
    wealth of knowledge, talent, and passion for this art form to the
    United States. At the age of 22, he became the youngest member ever
    in the history of the national silversmiths Guild of Bulgaria to be
    granted the title of Master. Founding the Valentin Yotkov studio in
    Brooklyn, New York in 1994 has allowed him to share this technique
    with other artists, including members of the Tiffany & Co's
    silverware department. This studio is the only school in the United
    States specializing in chasing and repousse instruction.
