Jewelry Course for Advanced Students

snimek-obrazovky-2024-08-19-v16.19.34
This course is conducted in the Czech language.

Create a jewelry collection using the lost-wax technique.

In the advanced course, we will focus on more complex and detailed wax work, approaching wax with a more experimental method. The goal is to create a more refined collection consisting of multiple pieces or a larger, more complex object. The course will also cover soldering, which each student should master, along with detailed wax work, finishing metal casting, and presenting the final result.

The relationship between jewellery and the body is the main theme of her work. Magdalena creates jewellery that is unisex and wearable and combinable in multiple ways. She is inspired by feelings, nature and utopian imaginations. In addition to collections and custom jewellery, she often collaborates with leading Czech fashion designers and her work complements fashion shows.
