Creative art and handwork courses
In 2004, when working as a manager and owner of a language school I re-found creativity after burn out and I got my life back. I became fascinated and obsessed with wire jewellery. My passion grew everyday, and after some time wire and beads were just not enough anymore. I decided to try metalsmithing and tiffany technique (soft eco-friendly tin soldering). I have attended a few jewellery courses but the greatest fun for me was, and still, is when I am allowed to do my own experiments using various techniques and come up with something new, and unique.
In 2011 I created a space for creative people called PoTvoRa in Bratislava ( which is a pun in Slovak language - long explanation). I was organizing creative courses for adults and kids. Teaching them various techniques with a bunch of lectures and my fellow artists. What an experience it was! Unfortunately, no matter how much I loved this job second burn out hit me. It was just before we moved to Norway and after some months later I had say good bye to PoTvoRa for good. It was a very hard decision because it was the job of my dreams. But I had to move on. Art saved me again. I kept making jewellery and started drawing and painting again, after many, many years. As we moved to Norway I had to start from the scratch. I began attending handmade markets in the area where I live, meeting new people, getting to know Norwegian culture, falling in love with Norwegian wild and rough nature and getting inspired by its beauty.
In this section you will find the courses I have prepared for kids, youngsters as well as adults. Just to meet new people, to have fun, to be little creative, maybe to find a new hobby, to relax a bit and to inspire each other...
My eco friendly tin soldered jewellery is unique and each piece is one of a kind, because of the technique I use and because I do not like making the same things again and again. I find It boring and not creative at all. When making my jewellery I am playing and caressing with every single detail, so you can enjoy it as much as I do. Yes, my jewellery, looks rough but this is the way I like it, so you can see every my touch :) I combine tiffany, wabi-sabi and metalsmithing techniques.
