My relationship with bobbin lace began when I was nine years old. What started as a fascination with thread, movement and the quiet rhythm of making slowly became something much more personal — my own way of expressing ideas, emotions and stories.

Over the years, I became increasingly curious about what lace could become when taken beyond its traditional boundaries. I began experimenting with colour, metallic threads, crystals, scale and form, allowing the technique to move into a more contemporary and sculptural space.

​

My work often sits somewhere between jewellery, textile art and object. I am drawn to contrasts - delicacy and strength, tradition and experimentation, precision and freedom. Lace may appear fragile, but for me it carries an incredible sense of structure, patience and resilience. Hundreds, sometimes thousands, of small movements slowly build into a form that can hold a memory, an emotion or a story.

​

I do not see lace simply as decoration. For me, it is a material capable of speaking. Sometimes my work explores memory, femininity, nature, growth or transformation. At other times, the starting point is much simpler — a colour, a texture, a particular thread or a feeling that I want to follow without knowing exactly where it will lead.

​

Traditional techniques remain at the heart of my practice, but I am not interested in preserving them unchanged. I believe tradition stays alive when we allow it to evolve. I enjoy experimenting with what bobbin lace can be, where it belongs and how it can exist within a contemporary artistic context.

In 2023, I was invited to present a solo exhibition at the Gallery of Art and Museum of Bobbin Lace in Arenys de Mar, Spain. The exhibition was shown over four weekends and welcomed more than 1,000 visitors. Today, three of my pieces form part of the museum’s permanent display dedicated to contemporary bobbin lace.

​

In 2026, I presented my solo exhibition Bloom at Galeria SOKÓŁ in Nowy Sącz, Poland. The exhibition gave me the opportunity to explore lace as a medium for memory, emotion, nature and personal storytelling, and became another important step in developing my work beyond its traditional decorative role.

​

I have now been working with bobbin lace for more than 25 years, but I still feel that I am discovering what this technique can become. That is probably what keeps me so connected to it. Every thread brings another possibility, another direction and another question.

There is something deeply meaningful to me in creating slowly in a world that constantly asks us to move faster. Every piece is built thread by thread, decision by decision. The process requires patience, concentration and trust, but it also leaves space for intuition, change and unexpected discoveries.
