Emilce Verez has been involved in the instruction of different kinds of hand crafts for many years: First as a ceramics and fabric painting instructor in the 1980’s and upon her arrival to the U.S, 20 years ago, as a cold porcelain teacher in Florida.
Not long went by before she realized that the same tools, techniques and molds that are used for cold porcelain, are also used for cake decoration with gum paste and pastillage. However, after noticing the low quality of many molds in the market, she decided to make her own molds with the quality she wanted for her work and her student’s.
She currently lives in Chicago, IL where she teaches gum paste, pastillage and cold porcelain techniques.
