Beata Ludwin and Łukasz Wołek are focused on redefining the traditional concept of mirrors. Both graduates of the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, they decided to combine their artistic expertise to produce artistic mirror works. Beata is an art conservator by training, and Łukasz is a sculptor. All the mirrors they create are entirely handmade and the two artisans work together at each stage of the making process. They specialise in pouring silver and in gilding glass with gold leaf. "Wood processing techniques are playing an increasingly important role in our practice," says Beata. The works of the duo revive centuries-old mirror making techniques, as they are intent on preserving traditional methods. "We breathe a new life into the craft by developing and applying modern techniques, too," explains Łukasz.
