Workshops by artist Malgorzata Belkiewicz

Małgorzata Belkiewicz is a modern artist, enthusiastic about and inspired by cut-outs. Her works are elaborate, artistic and individual in design. In collections presented by Małgorzata Belkiewicz one can find:
- traditional cut-outs related to former patterns
- cut-outs inspired by folk art
- her own authorship

Małgorzata Belkiewicz is a teacher and an educator. Having classes, she passes on children and teenagers her aesthetic sensitivity, skills and a passion for creating unusual things which make our everyday life more pleasant.

Her works were presented in exhibitions, shows, festivals and handicraft trainings not only for children and teenagers but also for adults and pensioners. Nowadays, cut-outs by Małgorzata Belkiewicz, thanks to elaborate rendition, traditional and modern ornament, remain work of art. They're appreciated by other artists, jewelry designers, who are inspired by folk culture. For instance, the pattern of a cut-out has been used to design the Polish building EXPO 2010 in Shanghai.

Cutting out is for Małgorzata a great satisfaction, passion, joy and pleasure, especially, when is shared with others.
