Lenka Jarosova
Lenka Jarošová was born in 1957 in Nový Bor, a town in the Czech Republic. She studied at the secondary glass art school "SUPŠS Kamenický Šenov" from 1972 to 1976.
From 1976 to 1990 Lenka works as a designer, first in the design department of the large state company Crystalex, later at EGERMANN, part of Crystalex for more exclusive production of consumer glass.
She has been working as an independent artist since 1993 and makes glass art objects, often supplemented with bronze parts.
In 1968, as an 11-year-old girl, while on vacation with her aunt and uncle in East Germany, she was surprised by the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia. It took several days of great uncertainty before she could return home.
