Studio Jitka Skuhrava was founded by Jitka and her husband Tomas Kamenec. They both have traditional glassmaking background and follow in the footsteps of their parents and grandparents. Over the last few years they have been focusing on producing artistic glass and original light installations for architecture. They use their own studio and regional technologies to realize their projects. Jitka Skuhrava says to the foundation of the studio: “Glass is a fascinating material which has been part of our whole life, and still does not cease to amaze us with its fragile and unique beauty. We love creating personal and original designs. We see to process of our art works from the beginning to the end; we respect the quality of every individual part and often ourselves refine the glass with our own skills and hands." Jitka Skuhrava is a graduate of Academy of Art, Architecture and Design in Prague (Professor V. Kopecky’s studio). Since 2007 he has been designing lighting installations for architecture. Before that, she completed the study of glass crafts, graduated from engraving and glass cutting.
