Workshops

At each of our departments, you can use specific devices – the well-equipped workshops offer variety of technologies, such as welding, bronze casting, 3D print, 3D hub, video recording and editing, digital technologies, glass and ceramic-making, jewellery and textile techniques, and more. The wooden frames and other small-size wooden works, the casting of different materials or the various metallic details are carried out by technical staff and are administered at respective studios.
