Ox horn: From Craft to Contemporary Jewelry (Level I)
The workshop "Ox horn: From Craft to Contemporary Jewelry (Level I)" promotes, strengthened and deepened over traditional techniques applied to the material ox horn as an infinite discipline to be applied both creative resources to design jewelry and to create portable object-art.

Remarks
About Claudia BetancourtJewelry Designer/Artist and Teacher WE WALKA Escuela. Consultant on issues of entrepreneurship and Craft + Design. Co-Founder of WALKA.
Claudia is the third generation of a family of artisans working ox horn. She learned through watching and experiencing, with many hours on hand-on work in her grandfather and father’s atelier since she was a child. She decided (after studying Literature and Business) to learn traditional jewelry techniques in order to generate greater chances for her jewelry horn pieces. After a local commercial success of its collections she took a trip to Melbourne-Australia to do and Self Funded Art Residency. At her return to Chile with his partner Nano Pulgar, they decided to open WE WALKA Escuela, where they teach everything they know about this beautiful craft: jewelry.
Claudia has exhibited in major galleries and museums around the world, including: the MAD Museum of Arts and Design in New York, Design Bienal Iberoamericana-Madrid, Contemporary Jewellery Biennial Beijing, Munich, Velvet Da Vinci Gallery USA, SOFA with Charon Kransen, New Adevtures in Jewellery.
