Argilla Studio was founded in 2005. Since then I have further developed my previous work.
I graduated from the Fine Arts High School in Prague. Then I focused on ceramics, and later on I also worked with textiles and graphic design.
In the early 1990s I co-founded the studio in the Convent of Discalced Carmelites in Prague. Our works were presented in the Carmel Gallery situated near the convent in Prague-Hradčany.
Since some changes were made in the convent at the turn of the millennium, I have continued my work in the Argilla Studio. I use various art techniques, among others I work with potter´s clay, paint on silk and create applied art.
For several years I ran my own sales gallery - Argilla Gallery in Prague, Czech Republic.
The main activities of the studio are:
- Paintings - painted on silk, raw silk, velvet, wool and other materials
- Sculptures and reliefs from various kinds of clay
- Ceramics - vases, bowls, ikebana, pots, cups, candlesticks
- Scarves - silk scarves, shawls and ties
- Jewellery – made from glass and ceramics
- Liturgical vestments and liturgical ceramics
- Candles – including Paschal Candles
- Baptismal sets - baptismal candles and silk drapes
- Graphic design - book covers, book binding, CD covers, posters, greeting cards
- Extensive projects - nativity scenes, Calvary sculptures, altar mensa, furniture
