The basic technique for creating repoussé is an ancient one, with specific techniques, tools, and materials dependant on history and culture. The work of Rocío Heredia reflects the tradition that evolved in Mexico, a tradition rich in the complexities of Spanish conquest and the aboriginal Aztec and Teotihuacan societies. The metals most commonly used in this Mexican tradition are gold, silver, copper, tin and brass. Rocio has studied with the Master Valentin Yotkov and Master Dolores Valenza, in New York. Her works are in public and private collections in Mexico, the United States, Switzerland, Israel, Spain and Italy. Rocio holds a Degree in Psychology and currently divides her time between professional website creation, graphic design and metalwork."> <meta name="DC.Title" content="Roc&iacute;o, Designer Metalsmith.
