B-craft Karolina Bąkowska

My name is Karolina Bąkowska and I am a textile artist. It means that my works are made of fabrics. I live and work in Szczecin (Poland). Colors are my greatest passion, in general, because I can be inspired by a green cucumber, a colorful sunset or a red car. I love colors, without them the world would be so gray. That’s why I express myself through colorful fabrics and threads. While creating, I rely entirely on my intuition to make my works one hundred percent authentic. Art quilts are my favorite things to sew and my favorite technique is the raw edge applique. From several years, my works have also been created in the form of postcards. I really like this format. With my work, I try to encourage people to try sewing, both manually and machine. I discovered the love of sewing quite unexpectedly, and I would like others to experience it too – because sometimes it is enough to pick up a needle to cheer up yourself.
