Lenka Kerlicka trained as a teacher at Charles University, where she developed patience, the ability to listen, and skill in guiding others, before realising she needed creative self-expression to move forward. She left her teaching career to pursue goldsmithing, enrolling in formal training and following what felt like a personal calling.

It was only after making that decision that she discovered the full weight of what she had stepped into: a family goldsmithing tradition stretching back to 1790, with at least 30 master goldsmiths across the generations of the Kerlitzky family. Today her Prague atelier on Újezd combines a working goldsmith's workshop and showroom under one roof, an ideal space, she says, for preserving craft tradition while continuing to develop and innovate.
