Glanz & Kante

With Anna Wójcik-Korbas about polish jewellery

What characterizes the tendencies of polish jewellery? How did political and economic developments influence the jewellery makers in Poland? What happened after World War II until today in the polish jewellery scene?

Polish Jewellery is rich in social-political meaning and strongly connected to polish history. Thus, the polish jewellery makers reflect with their chosen material, the topics of their works and the motives the times their living in. With Anna Wójcik-Korbas we’re talking about polish jewellery and its development after World War II until nowadays.
