Educational program:
The school was established in 1880 as a craft school for drawing, modelling
and chasing. The specializations were slowly extended for girdlers, metal
engravers, decoraters and producers of bronze goods. It became the cultural
center of the city and it has educated many famous artists, professionals
and designers of the industry of costume jewellery. The imposing collections
of art castings and top equipments in its workshops were very important for
the educational program. The school survived the year 1945, the crisis in
50s and after 1990 the present-day school started to realize next plans. The
new specialization - minted medal and coin was founded after the creation of
the Czech Mint in 1993 in Jablonec n.N. This specialization received the
statute of Higher Technical College (HTC) in a year.
Considering new needs of our society in the advertising industry the new
specialization was opened in this secondary school - promotional graphic
arts. So students can study - die formation and engraving, girdlering,
surface refining, artistic metal processing and promotional graphic arts.
