THE SECONDARY SCHOOL OF APPLIED ARTS
AND THE COLLEGE OF CRAFT TURNOV
The first Central European school where professionals were trained in the treatment of precious stones was established in Turnov in 1884. The date of its foundation ranks it among the oldest secondary art schools in Bohemia. Its origins lie with the natural necessities of the gem industry, which was the most important source of living in Turnov and its surroundings in the 19th century. For that reason the Stone Cutting and Stone Engraving department opened there and was soon followed by Jewellery and Silver-smithy.
Later development of the school called for founding of other branches in the second half of the 20th century.
Today’s Secondary School of Applied Arts offers five study areas:
The school has had a lot of home and foreign appreciation and awards. Its graduates include professionals working both alone and in association or workshops.
