Laura first learned the art of wycinanki when an elderly relative from Poland came to visit the United States for the summer. As an older adult, Laura has revisited the tradition, and has shared her work in shows and galleries and taught classes throughout New England. She's eager to continue sharing this folk art tradition with others!
