Anneta Valious
Anneta Valious. Anneta Valious was born and raised in Moscow. After graduating from the Moscow State University, she married and moved to France, where he lives with his family in the city of Nantes. Beads came into her life in 2007, quite by accident, but gradually creating jewelry literally become a way of her life. Impressed by creativity of Israeli jewelry designer Dori Csengeri she fell in love with soutache embroidery. At that time soutache technique was little known, there was no literature and tutorials and you had to learn by yourself. But this did not stop her, on the contrary, gave her a certain excitement.
 
Since then, Anneta is constantly developing her skills, regularly takes part in international exhibitions and competitions and teaches classes, she has publications in magazines (the very first one appeared on our website). In 2012 the Russian publishing house AST-Press released her first book on soutache technique and in 2014 there was a new book, "Soutache", published by Lark Crafts. Annette likes experimenting with new techniques, and this process can be endless since the fantastic world of beads is boundless.
