We are a wife and husband team based in Seattle, WA.
Hello! I am Janusz Poźniak.
I grew up in England, where I studied 3-dimensional design, specializing in glass. After I graduated, I worked at a studio in London for three years before making my way to Seattle to work with Dale Chihuly. Shortly after, I started working as an independent. For over thirty years now I have been working with a number of very established artists - while at the same time making my own art and traveling to teach workshops all over the world.
and I am Michelle Poźniak!
I grew up in Alberta, Canada, where I studied fine arts, majoring in glass. Simultaneously exploring other mediums, one of which was leather. I moved to Seattle and started designing and making leather handbags full time, first producing out of my home and then eventually moving to a shared studio space. I have expanded my products over the years to include such things as handmade soap and candles.
The most notable thing that happened in our lives of late has been the release of “Blown Away” on Netflix. Taking part in a reality show, especially one that was in it’s first season, we really didn’t know what to expect. We are happy to report that the support from around the globe has been more than we ever could have imagined, and for that we say Thank You.
