About the Instructor

Guided by traditional craftsmanship, Lisette honed her skills under the training of Master Goldsmiths in Quito, Ecuador. Through meticulous work with essential tools and the alchemy of pure silver and gold, she developed into a versatile and adept jewelry designer. Her dedication to authenticity is evident in the way she not only embraces the roots of traditional artisanal techniques but also seamlessly incorporates them into contemporary and fine jewelry creations.
