New Set Inspired by Native American Freedom
Become Part of the Story - A New Set Inspired by the Spirit of Native American Freedom
Do you remember being a child and seeing Native Americans as the ultimate symbol of freedom? When daydreaming was a genuine escape from reality and staring into a fire meant something far more than warmth? That memory is what inspired our new tools and we want to share it with you.
A Story That Began with a Dream
Native Americans - people living in harmony with nature. Growing up in 1970s Czechoslovakia, they held a very particular meaning for us. Behind the Iron Curtain, during the years of normalisation, Native Americans represented something far greater than characters in books - they embodied freedom, courage, and the possibility of living in harmony with yourself and with nature.
While the rest of Europe saw Indigenous culture as exotic, for us it was a refuge. A symbol of hope. An escape into a world where the rules actually made sense. The fascination with fire, nature, and ritual never left us.
And it's from those memories that the idea for this new set grew.
It started with a dream. Then came a journey to the Navajo Nation in the USA. An exhibition at NCECA in Salt Lake City. And now the story comes full circle - in your studio, where beauty is born from clay.
A Collaboration with Pavel Čech
To bring real emotion into every detail, we invited painter and illustrator Pavel Čech to collaborate - someone who breathes freedom through his art. This set came from somewhere deep in his soul, and we believe you'll feel it with every impression you make.

From the Rélyéf studio: Pavel as a Native American
Tomáš says: "It's not just about a pattern on clay. It's about what that impression awakens in you - an association, a memory, a sense of freedom. We refined each stamp until every single one told its own story."
Věra adds: "In ceramic education, we often see people searching for a shortcut to expression. This set is one of the best paths - the design is powerful on its own, and yet it still leaves room for your hand."
Not Just for Clay – Technology & Materials
The tools are made using our resin technology - precise, durable, and suitable not only for ceramics, but also for paper and textile printing.
Your Turn - Share Your Story
We want more than decoration. We want a shared game, shared emotion, shared energy.
