In my courses, I pass on the basics of the technological process of making gloves. Because it takes time to make gloves, I do before the meeting itself before preparing the material. Before starting the course, send me your hand measurements, selected color shade and glove type. We spend a pleasant eight hours together, taking into account the complexity of the decorations. Courses in my workshop are for at most only 2 people, exit courses for max. 5 people, so we can go into detail about each of your works. The course includes a creative set, which consists of a slice of the selected glove type, a sewing set (triangular needle, cotton, ornaments), a lining and a complete description of the technological process of making gloves.

Every woman's and man's hands are more beautiful if they're wrapped in beautiful gloves. Come and make yours, original ones that underline your character, and at the same time support the wonderful craftsmanship that glove-making unquestionably is.

• Participants wear hand-designed, embroidered and tailored leather gloves of their choice.

• According to the leather coloring on my website www.mojerukavice.cz, you choose the skin tone, the type of lining and measure your hand depending on whether you are right- or left-handed.

• Choose the type of gloves, or perforation, cross-sections, embroidery, stretches, buttons or decorations - all according to fantasy, taste and personal taste

• During the course you will also learn about the history of glovemaking, materials used and working with them. Recommendations on maintenance and treatment of gloves are an integral part.

My name is Ludmila Osičková and I have been involved in glove making for most of my life. In 1992, I successfully completed a four-year course of study with a high school diploma in leather production. After school, I was hired by the former Dobříš Glove Factory. Since then, I have been intensively involved in this beautiful craft. I learned the entire glove-making process and, over the past ten years, I have worked in various management positions at several glove-making companies.

When another company in Dobříš closed down in 2019, and with it the production of gloves in the Dobříš region, I felt that a chapter in the history of this craft was coming to an end. It is impossible to prevent the relocation of production to "cheaper" countries, but I felt the need to continue traditional glove production in some way. And so a crazy idea came to me – to continue the work of my predecessors in my own workshop. With a smaller production volume, but with an even greater emphasis on quality materials, perfect preparation, and technological consistency. I bought machines, rented a workshop in the former premises of the Dobříš Glove Factory, purchased materials, created a website, wrote scripts... And I founded the company Moje rukavice (My Gloves), which organizes courses where interested parties can obtain all the necessary information and knowledge of the processes. What for? So that they can make their own unique gloves right in the glove-making workshop. And now I invite you to be a part of it.

I respect tradition, craftsmanship, and originality, and I want things to serve well and last a long time. This is also my approach to glove making—thanks to the course in my workshop, you will create a unique product without the "burden" of mass production, which no one else will have. I guarantee that you will receive an artifact with a unique story. And, of course, we make gloves of such high quality that a mother can pass them on to her daughter or even her granddaughter. The Moje rukavice workshop thus helps to convey a story of passing on and sharing.

Gloves are my life. Will they be yours too?

Thieves and surgeons work with gloves on – so as not to leave traces of their activities. That's what French director Jacques Tati is said to have said. The Moje rukavice glove workshop in Dobříš, on the other hand, strives to leave as big a mark as possible. I would be honored if you would join me in this endeavor.
