This course is conducted in the Czech language.

Create jewellery of your own design using the lost-wax casting method.

In the jewellery course you will learn the basics of working with the most commonly used jewellery tools and basic techniques. You will go through all the stages of jewellery making, both practically and theoretically - from research, design and model making to the realisation in precious metals and their subsequent presentation.

The main technology will be the lost-wax casting method, where you will try your hand at sawing, soldering, grinding and polishing. The main material we will work with is silver, but we will also work with jeweller’s wax, plasticine and paper. The result of the course should be at least one original piece of jewellery of your own design. (Financial participation of the student in the realisation of the final product is required).

What awaits you in the course

  • Lost wax method
  • Basic work in a jewellery workshop
  • Realisation of a piece of jewellery according to your design

Magdalena Šťastníková graduated from the K.O.V. studio, Concept - Object - Meaning, at UMPRUM in Prague. Her work is characterised by an abstract, organic and fluid morphology, with jewellery often extending beyond the human body and into the space beyond. 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. She was nominated for Jewellery Designer of the Year in the Czech Grand Design Awards for 2021 and 2022. Since 2021 she has been running her own brand under her own name.
