... In addition to the loom, throughout my work I use different types of yarns, depending on the final product. Usually I use thick woolen threads for belts, fine wool for skirts, sheets and spare parts. My design ideas are mostly influenced by traditional designs from museums and private collections.

The most motivating aspect of my work is when I create something new and unusual from simple, everyday materials. I believe that weaving is an inspiring and limitless profession for young generations since the possibilities of the thread are boundless and all it takes is a little perseverance to master them and then the world of beauty is wide open.
