About:
Tricks —small sculptures made of porcelain and/or clay, created using a salvaged mold of a horse from the now-defunct Krzysztof Porcelain Factory in Wałbrzych. Once used to produce figurines for the Swedish retail chain IKEA, the mold finds new life in Trzybulska’s hands. The porcelain factories of Lower Silesia—Książ, Krzysztof, Wałbrzych, and Karolina—have played a pivotal role in her artistic journey. It was within their walls, during the “Porcelain Differently” plein-air workshops and individual visits, that the artist learned the material, experimented, and shaped her own visual language. Although each trick originates from the same rescued mold, every piece is treated individually, revealing a wide range of techniques, formal solutions, and Trzybulska’s signature approach to ceramic expression.
