Czech Craft is Here

Original language description

The UMPRUM Studio of Textile Design at this year's Dutch Design Week presents the results of a year-long cooperation with the North Bohemian manufacturer of glass beads - Preciosa Ornella. The project shows innovative technological methods and builds on traditional and often neglected craft connections such as textiles and glass beads. The presentation “The National Treasure, Czech Craft Is Here” offers new solutions and seeks out the alternative form young designers can offer to traditional cultural clichés. It is a call for anchored market interests sumed up in this catalogue accompanying the exhibition. The exhibited artefacts present a wealth of work with glass beads. They show courage to test unconventional solutions, experiment and connect with contemporary textile technologies. Students use beads in digital machine embroidery, combine them with knitted fabric, embroider, but reappraise them as raw materials and make them into new materials. The interconnection of wool felt and glass beads give rise to new structural meterage, which offers a wide range of applications in furniture and interior design, such as sound barrier walls or new types of upholstery. The tubular type of bead becomes a structural element for creating a variable glass mesh suitable for interior dividers. By beading and entangling the beads, a flowing material is obtained that provides an unusual haptic experience where the glass beads maintain their cool temperature compared to the warm textile. The exhibition is not only against the effects of consumerism but also the increasing absence of traditional encounters. Therefore, during the entirety of the exhibition, there will be a pearl making workshop at the central table covered with velvet. It is not just about making new things, but especially about reviving old clothes and accessories with new pearl applications. Just as students were looking to give unusable beads a second life, they will help give a second chance to clothes that would have at best otherwise ended up in a garbage container.
