Background (Profile)	From large bronzes and ceramic sculpture to graceful vessels, from unusual silver jewelry to arresting mounted silver sculpture, Vera Lightstone has worked and taught sculptural media for years. As a ceramist, she taught at the Crafts students League for many years and now teaches at the Jewish Community Center in Manhattan as well as privately in her own studio. She has a reputation as an inspiring and original teacher. When Precious Metal Clay (PMC) arrived in this country from Japan, she became one of the first senior teachers for PMC connection. She teaches advanced and beginners' workshops in her midtown Manhattan loft-studio to students from the New York Tri-State area and others who have flown into NYC from all over the country. Her work has been shown extensively in museums, galleries and stores nationwide.
