Beautifully illustrated books at my family house, the decorating of which I remember today, inspired me to work creatively. Currently, closer and further journeys make me more impressions. Unknown to me plants, local decorations or elements of architecture can be the perfect creative base for decorations designers. Maybe, like flowers and books, they will come back as stylized decorations that complements our products.”

“I treat my work as a life passion. When I create decorations, I use the influence of the surrounding nature and its beauty. Therefore there are so many plant motifs in my designs. Nature that surrounds me and the phenomena that occur within it inspire me to work creatively. My Christmas and Easter decorations are inspired by the extraordinary atmosphere. All plant motifs are decorated by using square, zigzag and circles stamps, creating intricate compositions. To achieve the highest quality and efficiency, I am still developing in the field of ceramics.”

Teresa Nakonieczna – designer of decorations. The artist has been connected with the Artistic Handicraft Cooperative “Artistic Ceramics and Pottery” since 2004. Since 2005 she has been a pattern designer. I have been interested in art since I was a child. I used to watch the paintings of old masters and modern paintings and also graphic art and sculpture. I have never expected to be working creating it. Both modern useful art and the old traditional one are a big challenge for the creator because it is more and more difficult to find new interesting patterns. I am fond of flowers and because of this fact I am trying to use plant motives in traditional decorations of Bolesławiec ceramic. I am the most creative while staying in my flower garden, the plants blooming there give me inspiration to create new patterns.

I’ve lived surrounded by woods, gardens, meadows and fields since my childhood. I watch the nature awaking back to life in summer, its blooming in spring, its picturesque colorfulness in fall, and its characteristic white dress in winter. I’ve always liked watching and picking flowers as well as other nature-made decorative objects to use them for bouquets and colorful compositions. Nature enchants me with its beauty and diversity, whereas the richness of its forms and hues inspires me to create patterns with plant motives.

Lucyna Lenkiewicz – designer of decorations. The artist has been connected with the Artistic Handicraft Cooperative “Artistic Ceramics and Pottery” since 1998.

It is my desire that the entire process of creating decorations should be an incessant joy of self-development, i.e. self-expression in designing patterns, motives and seal arrangements. I love experiments that lead me to new experiences every now and again. What I do is watching the world around me and trying to immortalize its fragments on pottery surfaces.

The variety of colours and unique interpretations are my inspiration to create new decorations. When I painted the Roosters decoration, I focused on its symbolic meanings.”
In China, the Rooster has been a symbol of honesty, luck and fidelity. In the Christian religion, the Rooster signified the resurrection of Christ. As a popular image on the steeples and domes of churches, the rooster was steeped in symbolic meanings that deal with watchful vigilance against evil. In Judaism, the Rooster was an emblem of gallantry and honesty. During the French Revolution the Rooster became the symbol of France.

When creating decorations I can fully use my skills and interests and feel full satisfaction from my artistic work.

The nature and human’s life have been shown on the pottery. Free collocations of colours and shapes of plant and the harmony between them have been helping me to create decorations. The ability of matching the pattern to the sizes and the shapes of the form is of great importance.

I am receptive to the beauty of forms, scents and colors. I receive the richness of the world by means of senses, and transfer it to my patterns.

There is a kind of softness in nature, which is not alien to me. l am a supporter of combining floral motives with geometric ones.

Krystyna Deptuła – designer of decorations. The artist has been connected with the Artistic Handicraft Cooperative “Artistic Ceramics and Pottery” since 1991. Since 1997 she has been a pattern designer. My ideas are often born outside my work, i.e. in different places where normal life is going on. Very helpful are my manual skills, sense of humor and the neverending desire to learn something new. At times I watch nature on a beautiful day, add some imagination, and my mind triggers combining a flower with a flower, a bud or a leaf. This is the beginning. Then the idea has to be transferred to pottery and stamps must be added to complete the picture this is how a pattern is born. And while working on a pattern, I already see what I can add or take away in the next one. I like designing patterns for individual people, and the fact that I know my works appeal to people in the world lends wings to me.

My artistic inspiration stems mainly from watching nature, whereas my imagination allows me to arrange green twigs and colorful flowers in various forms. Ali projects are born suddenly and unexpectedly. They can be stimulated by practically everything from a decorative plant to a beautiful landscape. Artistic activity requires freedom, but pottery, as the material, has certain limits. A good designer is able to realize their free vision in a clear, specific and concrete manner. This is the ideal I am striving to attain.
