Artist Artist Bio<br />
Bio<br />
<strong>Anthony</strong> <strong>Tammaro</strong> is a designer of couture and production jewelry who takes advantage of a<br />
number of technological advances and materials developed over the past decade. These include<br />
the digital design environment of 3D-modeling software, as well as a number of additive<br />
production processes that, in his work, allow for creativity in form and function unattainable<br />
with typical production means. Since standard metal jewelry production methods were limiting in<br />
terms of scale, he began to devise techniques to assemble large-scale, dramatic body<br />
ornament. In his newest body of work, <strong>Tammaro</strong> continues to collaborate with fashion<br />
photographers to reach beyond the typical scenario of presenting objects of personal<br />
adornment in isolation.<br />
<strong>Tammaro</strong> holds a BFA as a Crafts major at The University of Arts in Philadelphia, is a graduate of<br />
the Masters Course of Industrial Design at Domus Academy in Milan, Italy, and an MFA graduate<br />
in the Metals-Jewelry-CAD/CAM program at Temple University’s Tyler School of Art.<br />
