A course by Karl Mazlo
Karl Mazlo is a jewelry artist based in Paris. He grew up in the world of jewelry thanks to his parents who are jewelry designers. After graduating from the Boulle School in Paris, where he learned the art of jewelry making, he went freelance and began working for designers. It was during his stay in Japan that he developed a new vision of his approach. He was then instilled with the desire to create, and set up his own company to convey this vision and his story.
He creates unique jewelry for individuals, but occasionally collaborates with large companies like the Eastern & Oriental Express, for whom he has created jewelry inspired by this train journey.
His works have been exhibited at the Grand Palais in Paris, the Metropolitan Art Museum in Tokyo, and the Thaddaeus Ropac gallery, among others. He is also the winner of various prizes such as the Made in Paris label prize, 1st Prize at the Ateliers d'Art de France competition, and the Exceptional Talent Prize of the Liliane Bettencourt Schueller foundation.
