With a Master of Fine Arts in Ceramics from the University of Applied Arts in Prague, she brings both deep technical mastery and a beautifully personal artistic voice to everything she creates.Her journey is as rich as her work. Jana founded the Artaim Studio and Gallery in the heart of Paris, launched the celebrated annual Céramique 14 Paris exhibition, and has exhibited her ceramics across the globe — from Japan and Korea to the United States and beyond. She has been a proud member of the International Academy of Ceramics since 2001, and her passion for the craft extends into teaching and community-building, connecting people to the art of clay at every stage of her career.
