Verena Sieber-Fuchs

Verena Sieber-Fuchs initially worked with textiles on a monumental scale, creating tapestries and textile installations for the interiors of large public buildings. In 1973, she began making jewelry, first using traditional materials including glass and metal beads that she crocheted into cords and collars. In 1983, she started incorporating light and transparent materials such as tissue paper and gossamer filaments into her designs, making her jewelry airy and spacious. She has been living and working in Zurich, Switzerland since 1969.
