Barbara Idzikowska

Barbara Idzikowska graduated from the Fine Art Academy of Wrocław, Poland in the Department of Glass. Her work has been internationally exhibited, with recent solo exhibitions in Denmark, Holland, France, and Germany. Her work resides in numerous permanent collections such as the MuséeAtelier du verre de Sars-Poteries in France, Museum für Modernes Glas in Coburg, Germany, the Ossoliński National Institution in Wrocław, Poland, the National Museum in Wrocław, Poland, the Muzem Karkonoskie, Jelenia Góra in Poland, and the Glas Museum Frauenau in Germany.

Barbara has been awarded the 2013 Corning/Kohler Joint Residency where she will spend one month at The Corning Museum Studio and twelve weeks at Kohler Co. While in residence, Barbara developed an installation incorporating cast ceramic wash basins made in the Kohler Co. Pottery and cast glass textile made at Corning Glass. These forms will continue an ongoing exploration of the symbolic, formal, and technological relationships between drawing, glass, space, and architecture, while adding vitreous china to her pallet of materials.
