Yorkshire Journal, Winter 2004 preview of Czech It Out

CZECH IT OUT
The latest exhibition to arrive at the Kath Libbert Jewellery Gallery at Salts Mill brings together work which has never been seen before in this country. Thirteen designers from the Czech Republic have collections on show, featuring the usual precious metals and gems as well as materials as diverse as bone, fishing bait and credit cards - all with a contemporary twist. Kath Libbert explained: 'One of the key themes behind Czech it Out is the designers' inventiveness, and their ability to create something beautiful from very little, with humour and thoughtfulness.' There is also a strong personal connection: Kath's mother is Czech Jewish, and her family lived in the same village for hundreds of years until forced out by the Nazis. Czech it Out runs until the 31st January.
