Alfredo Villasana

He was a Taxco artist & was the manager for both William Spratling & Hector Aguilar in the 1930's, before branching off on his own. Villasana became known for doing some of the finest repousse work that you may ever come across, as well as designing some of the best clamper style bracelets that came out of Taxco back in the day. I personally have many favorite Taxco artisans that were known during the Mexican Silver Renaissance Days, but do have to admit that Villasana sits high on the list for his precise repousse work that are truly time consuming works of art!!
