POLYGONS & BUBBLES
COLD-WORKING GLASS
In the realm of contemporary jewellery, one encounters the brilliant mind of Katerina Blaskova, a visionary designer whose creations breathe life into the essence of uniqueness and freedom. With a profound admiration for the duality inherent in human beings – the tough yet fragile nature that defines
our existence – Katerina finds her muse in the artistry of recycled glass.
Katerina’s journey unfolds through the fragments of glass that have lived their previous lives in glass workshops, as color samples, or as offcuts, ultimately deemed as failed glass casting. But Katerina, ever the champion of second chances and transformations, breathes new life into these glass remnants. Just as in life, where second chances are essential, her creations exude the brilliance of rebirth.
Her expertise lies in the realm of cold-working glass technology, a process she likens to sculpting. Her true artistry manifests in countless hours of experimentation and exploration. While she may start with an idea of the final product, the glass, once in her hands, takes
on a life of its own. The end result often diverges from her initial vision, a testament to her relentless pursuit of pushing the boundaries of production technologies. In this creative dance, Katerina crafts pieces of jewellery that stand as unique and exceptional works of art.
