Gizela Hassmann is my great-great-grandmother's actual name from my father's side (phew, in one breath I said it right!) She was, as the family legend goes, joyful, avant grade per her era (independent, ambitious, strong woman) well, made peace with life. She passed away in 1961 (per the family's tree). And so, forward a few decennia, I am designing and hand making unique, rich in media and techniques - yet somehow all in sync - Arts and Crafts elements such as jewelry, home decorations, hats or hair accessories, notebooks and books with hand made fountain pens...
As I mix techniques, which is the result of various knowledge assimilation and exercising it until almost perfection for several decennaries, and still going on .. any artist would relate to always going-on on, improving or expanding its palette. Those are the final artifacts I hereby present you to enjoy, to share its story and make it your own story. Perhaps passed on to the next generation too? Please, My Dear Guest, I invite you cordially to my world under the patronage of Gizela Hassmann, a good-natured woman and mother, friend, and modern witch! Amicably and sincerely
Kamila Podgorska
