I am working with glass material since the age of 15, when I attended a school for the apprentices to learn how to cut glass. It was the school belonging to the Czech biggest producer of hand cut lead crystal - Bohemia Glassworks. This school was generating a future series production workers. After one year of experience I went to the Secondary School of Glassmaking in Kamenicky Senov, the oldest glass school in the world - founded 1856, attending the department for glass carving and cutting and I was also attending engraving lectures. There I was graduating in 1971. After one year of work at my "home" glassworks Bohemia as a head master, I moved to Prague and worked for 3 years as a series production glasscutter at the Co-op. In 1975 I was accepted for the studies at the Academy of Applied Arts in Prague under the famous Czech artist professor Stanislav Libensky. Six years later I received my MA. I am making glass sculptures and commission works, but I also do series production design for the different Czech Glassworks. Currently also for Steuben glassworks in Corning. I also spent several years with teaching. I taught two years at TIGA Toyama, Japan and one year at RIT Rochester. I also did short term workshops and lectures in all over USA, Japan, Canada, Portugal, Germany, Finland, Hungary and France. I also sell cold working equipment. Nowadays I am working in my own studio in Blazejovice and teach at the Secondary School of Glassmaking in Kamenicky Senov, where I am a principal of the school at the moment.
