Sub-Saharan Pangolin Sculpture

My adventure with pottery began in 1998 in Pottery Workshop Master Jan Grobelny , where later I was a student. After serving a four-year practice, I passed the exam in the Craft Federation in Gdańsk Poland , obtaining a diploma in the Potter-Ceramics profession. Since that time, together with my wife Magdalena were in different places where we undertook various works and activities until we got to where we are now. To the town of Beverwijk in North Holland, located near the North Sea, where our first dream came true - Barden Pottery Art. Here, in our small studio, we create shapes from our thoughts and fill them with clay so that you can see them too. The shapes that we create in most cases are inspired by nature ,ancient Africa and Mesoamerica . The wisdom of our ancestors, about ourselves, and the world that surrounds us, left in art, ceremonies and rituals is our greatest treasure, from which we draw inspiration, visions and knowledge. Antiquity and nature hides many secrets from us, but looking carefully at her, we can still learn a lot and discover her wisdom in ourselves and around us.
