About Us

LoomRoom was born from Magda’s passion — a craftswoman working with weaving, cross-stitch embroidery, and the collection of traditional folk textiles.

In her studio in the heart of Podlasie, she dedicates herself to weaving, creating rugs, bands, pick-up weaves, and multi-shaft textiles. She draws inspiration both from traditional Podlasie patterns and from global design, giving her work a unique and contemporary character.

She also works with cross-stitch embroidery, recreating patterns from traditional folk costumes. At the same time, she is engaged in the digitization of patterns from Podlasie textiles, bringing together cultural heritage and modern approaches.

Magda not only creates, but also shares her knowledge with others. She has led embroidery and weaving workshops at institutions such as the Royal Łazienki Museum in Warsaw, the Ethnography Department of the National Museum in Gdańsk, the Seweryn Udziela Ethnographic Museum in Kraków, the Podlasie Institute of Culture in Białystok, and many others.

Her private collection includes unique textiles — multi-shaft weaves, perebory, sejpaki, as well as various lengths of fabric such as linen for shirts, ceremonial towels, and mattress ticking. The collection, currently consisting of several dozen pieces, continues to grow.

Magda is a recipient of a scholarship from the Minister of Culture and National Heritage. As part of this scholarship, she conducted research in ethnographic museums across Poland and published the book “Woven Heritage – A Pattern Book for Craft Artists.”

As part of the two-year project “Perebory. Odsłony – Popularizing UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage”, carried out by the Museum of Southern Podlasie in Biała Podlaska, she developed and digitized several hundred patterns, now available on the website www.perebory.pl.

LoomRoom studio is a member of European Textile Network (ETN).

LoomRoom Studio in Hajnówka is a place where visitors can experience living craftsmanship and try traditional weaving and embroidery techniques for themselves.

Participants in the weaving workshops can sit at a loom, discover traditional patterns of the region and create their own small woven piece by hand. For those interested in embroidery, regular embroidery meetings are also organized. The workshops are designed both for beginners and for those who wish to further develop their textile and craft skills.

LoomRoom offers not only hands-on workshops, but also demonstrations of traditional weaving and events dedicated to the culture and design heritage of Podlasie. Visitors can explore a collection of traditional regional textiles and purchase locally made handicrafts and souvenirs inspired by the culture of Podlasie.

The studio was founded out of a passion for preserving and promoting traditional weaving and embroidery techniques that were once an important part of everyday life in homes throughout the Podlasie region.
