The exhibition At the Edge thematizes the possibilities of using stone as primary construction element of jewellery and at the same time it points out the subtle, sometimes even invisible border between studio jewellery and small sculpture. Martin Verner focuses on methods of stone processing in jewellery art in his doctoral research at the Faculty of Arts and Design at UJEP. That’s why he invited four artists who work with stone creatively to participate on the exhibition – Ludmila Šikolová, Mia Čopíková, Pavel Opočenský and Karel Votipka.
