Founder of Foundation Protextil, a group which promotes Polish textiles in Poland and abroad, Jolanta Rudzka-Habisiak teaches a design studio in carpet and tapestry art. Aniol Nadziel (Angel of Hope) reflects her flexibility with materials and her ability to move between woven works such as leather pillows or carpet squares and more sculptural work rooted in fiber.
