Everything that matters in my professional work began was conceived at the Designing Creative Situations workshop by Maja Parczewska and Janusz Byszewski. The encounter with them made me realise that I can offer the world a lot using art tools and that art is not only something you watch or look at. I was not a diligent student and skipped too many classes. To get a credit I had to do the final project on my own. This allowed me to have additional meetings with Majka and Janusz in their workshop at the Ujazdowski Castle. I would come to see them to consult my project, to present my ideas and share my doubts and these two wonderful artists and teachers invited me into their world, carefully listening to what I had to say.
