Andrea Turini Jewelry

Happening tonight in Albert Lea! And the jewelry workshop will be this Saturday for those who attend the presentation 💜

I’ll be in Albert Lea on May 28 for Heirloom Fire: Czech Glasswork, part of my SEMAC-funded grant.

Last year I traveled to the Czech Republic to visit factories and artisan homes where glass beads, buttons, and decorative elements are still produced using traditional techniques. I returned with original video, materials in various stages of production, and the tools used in these processes. I turned this into a one-hour interactive presentation that explores how the industry has evolved, survived and remained deeply tied to regional culture.

A hands-on jewelry design class on Saturday, May 30 allows participants to design a coordinating set using authentic Czech glass beads. Class is limited to 12, available to presentation attendees only.
