Milt Fischbein

Milt Fischbein is an independent metal artist and educator. He is a professional
engineer who discovered his love of working with precious metals almost 30
years ago, while taking an introduction to jewellery class at the Alberta College of
Art and Design.

He is one of only a handful of metal artists in North America whose primary focus
is the design and fabrication of filigree objects. Milt has been fine tuning ancient
filigree fabrication techniques in his Calgary Alberta studio, creating a body of
contemporary silver and gold filigree jewellery. Milt has been passing on his
knowledge of filigree techniques through in person and online workshops and
lectures. He is a professional member of the Alberta Craft Council.

His works have been published in Edmonton’s Where Magazine, Alberta Craft
Magazine and in Victoria Lansford’s 2019 Update of her Russian Filigree DVD.
A write up on his studio was featured in the July 2017 issue of the MJSA Journal.
