Valentin
Yotkov seeks to revive the ancient techniques of chasing and
repousse on jewelry and hollowware made in silver, copper
and gold.
Born and trained in Bulgaria in the old-world guild system
of silversmithing, Valentin served his apprenticeship under
the masters of Europe and learned his skills in the hands-on
fashion.
He currently lives and works in the United States where he
is recognized by the American Government as being one of the
Premier designer Silversmiths, and foremost experts in the
art of Chasing and Repoussé. His work has been widely exhibited
throughout the world since 1982. The Valentin Yotkov Studio
is the only school in the USA specialized in chasing/repousse
instruction. Valentin also teaches at other schools in the
US and abroad and trains Tiffany jewelers in the art of chasing
and repoussé.
