About the Studio

Pracownia Kraska is a creative space where we dedicate ourselves to crafting artworks that pay homage to the beauty of folk art and Polish folklore. Our artistic pursuits span a diverse range of disciplines, including classical painting, iconography, glass painting, graphic design, and various forms of illustration such as woodcuts and linocuts. We also embrace a wide array of craftsmanship. Our artistic endeavours extend to the realm of illustrated books, which are deeply rooted in the rich heritage of Polish folk art. Each creation that emerges from our studio is a testament to our devotion and fascination with the folklore of our homeland. In our works, we draw inspiration from the wellspring of religiosity, tradition, and the enduring legacy of the Polish countryside.
