There are moments in life that can shape someone’s destiny. For Iwona Tamborska that moment was a sudden health issue. During her recovery time, she decided to leave her career as a landscape architect behind and pursue her dreams as an artisan. She considers herself a self-taught artist. "When I took my first steps into silversmithing, there were no schools or easy ways to learn. It was a long and devoted research through tears and failures. As I look at it now in retrospect, I think that learning through my mistakes gave me more space for creativity and a fresh look at this craft. Where I can connect traditional and modern techniques all together." Iwona’s works can now be admired at exhibitions and fairs worldwide.
