GRÔPK

Born into a family of farmers in Poland's coastal region of Kashubia, caring for soil and hands-on labour has always been woven into my life along with a reverence for nature and its potent forces. With their own endemic language and rich folklore, the people of the region are one of Poland's few remaining ethnic minorities, a fact that I like to embrace in
my creative work.
With a degree in philosophy in hand, I started gaining experience as a fashion stylist, eventually becoming an in-house fashion editor at the Polish edition of Vogue magazine. Following a lay-off in the heyday of the pandemic, my self-taught endeavours in ceramics under Grôpk label are a journey of self-discovery, putting down roots and seeking creative
independence. My works, at once humble and intricately sinuous, are a quiet celebration of nature's imperfections and an artisan's hand.
In 2025 I was featured in the Homo Faber guide.

Why we love GRÔPK

At GROPK, clay becomes a vehicle for quiet experimentation. Rooted in a deep respect for material and process, the maker creates sculptural ceramic objects that feel both ancient and distinctly contemporary. Each piece embraces subtle irregularities and tactile surfaces, revealing the hand of the maker while celebrating the unpredictable nature of firing and form.

We are drawn to GROPK's ability to balance restraint with expression. The vessels and objects possess a striking architectural presence, yet remain warm and approachable... pieces that invite both contemplation and everyday interaction. The muted palette and thoughtful proportions allow the material itself to speak, highlighting texture, shadow, and silhouette."
