Presently, there are few schools where students can be educated in such crafts as fur, clock, frame-making, etc. These professions are usually bequeathed or taught individually to apprantices.
Having spent couple of weeks in their workshops, I learnt how time consuming and demanding was their job. Moreover, I noticed that those people, potrayed in my pictures, were characterized by hospitality and extreme precision combined with patience and devotion to their crafts. These pictures of the craftsmen were taken in Warsaw.
