About Lena Gabher
Jewellery as a traditional means of adornment becomes part of our physical appearance, and therefore a medium to explore and express our identity. Lena Gabher uses jewellery to create a symbiotic relationship between the body and its environment. She started her education in classical goldsmithing techniques in Vienna at the Wiener Goldschmiedeakademie and completed her apprenticeship examination as a Jeweler in 2010.
She then moved to Florence, Italy, where she studied at the renowed school ALCHIMIA (contemporary school of jewellery and design) to receive her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2013. Thus, she completed her Master of Fine Arts studies in Metals in May 2015 at the State University of New York in New Paltz. Since 2016 Lena the designer was teaching Gold-and Silversmithing techniques at the Wiener Goldschmiedelehrgang.
