The lightness of student creations
The 2019final examination work by students from the applied art schools in Železný Brod and Jablonec nad Nisou
Young heads, a unique approach, originality, courage. The list of common denominators pertaining to the students' artistic creations could easily be much longer.
Instead of words, we will present pictures of the lightness, with which the students at the applied arts secondary schools in Jablonec and Železný Brod have created beautiful objects at a level worthy of professional designers.
Take a look with us as the final examination pieces created by students from the Applied Arts Secondary School of Glassmaking in Železný Brod and the Applied Arts Secondary School and College in Jablonec nad Nisou, with which Preciosa Ornela cooperates.
Previews of the work by the students from both schools are available under two tabs:

LOCO
Lenka Holubcová
(The High School of Applied Arts
for Glassmaking in Železný Brod)
A vase - cutting and melted sculpture
The vase entitled "LOCO"involves
the combination of two techniques;
kiln-fired glass and the melted sculpture
technique based on the theme of music.
The name comes from the Spanish
word for "crazy".
The shape represents the dynamic
of a person's movements when dancing,
which is most certainly connected
with music.
It consists of two parts which have been
glued together. The lower melted part
represents the level of water and it has
been inspired by the emotional effect
which music has on people. The color
scheme of each of the vases has been
inspired by a different song.
LIFE INSIDE

for Glassmaking in Železný Brod)
Cases - cutting and melted sculpture
Life Inside is a set of three objects which can be used
as a case for anything or even as an urn.
The bodies of the cases are made from lathed wood,
while the lids have been made using the melted glass
sculpture technique.
The lid of the first case has been inspired by waves,
the second by mountains and the third case uses
a combination of these two harmonious natural beauties.
ISBERG
Vojtěch Nosek
(The High School of Applied Arts
for Glassmaking in Železný Brod)
An "ice" bowl – melted and cut glass,
Liba Colors 96
Isberg is a glass bowl which has been created
using the melted sculpture technique. It points
to the ecological theme of global warming.
The external section has been created with
a texture which imitates ice, while the internal
section is reminiscent of ice melting.
The top section of the bowl has been polished
on the surface and it is fully transparent.
LAPIDEUS
Antonín Košek
(The High School of Applied Arts
for Glassmaking in Železný Brod)
A set of three vases – hot-shaped glass
in a rotational form, Microbeads
The blown glass Lapideus vases have been
inspired by Egyptian burial vessels.
Their delicate colours and "icy" structure
have been achieved by packing the hot glass
in bronze-coated glass microbeads from Preciosa Ornela.
KRISTLE
Veronika Šimůnková
(The High School of Applied Arts
for Glassmaking in Železný Brod)
Rings - the combination of Liba Colors 96
and metal
This work for the final examination consists of three
glass rings inspired by amethyst crystals.
The rings consist of an upper section and square
rims, which have a square hole in the middle.
The upper section of the ring includes four stylised
crystals based on the shape and color scheme
of amethyst crystals.
The glass crystals and the glass rims
have been created using the melted
glass technique. One of the rings has been
melted from a single piece of glass, while
the other two crystals have been glued onto
a glass and metal ring.
PATRIAM
Nikola Kolářová
(The High School of Applied Arts
for Glassmaking in Železný Brod)
A bowl - melted and cut glass,
Liba Colors 96
Made to celebrate the occasion
of the 100th anniversary of the Czechoslovak Republic
Patriam is a glass bowl made using the melted sculpture
technique which is a response to the historical
development of the Czech territory.
The bowl is based on the stylised shape of the Czech
Republic, while the internal line also depicts the stylised
border of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.
The Protectorate was established in our country after 1938,
when the Munich Agreement was signed and a large part
of the Czech borderlands were ceded to the Germans.
Patriam has been designed in two color variants,
in crystal and in the colors of the Czech tricolor
(crystal, red and blue), using Liba Colors 96 rods.
SLEEPING FIRE
Vendula Paldusová
(The High School of Applied Arts
for Glassmaking in Železný Brod)
A brooch made from
Liba Colors 96 and wood
The main inspiration for this piece of jewellery, which uses glass with a uniform
thermal coefficient from Preciosa Ornela, was the view of a gradually dying fire.
The base of the piece of jewellery consists of a burnt frame, into which the glass stone
is fitted. Thanks to the proportional variability, it is possible to change the view
of the stone's cuts depending on which side is inserted into the frame.
The workmanship and color combinations on the brooch mean
that it makes an energetic, but elegant impression.
UNIVERSUM
Kateřina Hemková
(The High School of Applied Arts
for Glassmaking in Železný Brod)
Cutting and melted sculpture
Universum is a meditative set of crystals
which can also be used as a haptic aid.
They are not glued together and as such can
be put together arbitrarily according to your taste
and mood. They should evoke serenity in life and
peace, but also individuality and melancholy.
They have beendesigned to be set in a sunny
place in a modernly fitted interior.
