Polish Art and Culture Connections
Polish Culture and Coffee
Every coffee shop claims to have the freshest and best coffee, whether it is brewed from organic beans or not. There is an entire sub culture based off this little bean, and each shop carries different brands that claim to be number one in a field that is so vast that each unique civilization has a different take on the multiple varieties of this one bean.
Organic coffee is one of the most popular trends in the world of coffee at the moment, partially due to the fact that there is a drive that is quite popular for going green and everything the entails. White Cloud Coffee is a perfect example of this, offering up gourmet and organic coffees to satisfy whatever the café drinker might desire.
One of the newest innovations to, thanks in part to the commercial influence of Internet coffee websites, are the clubs that many java… Continue reading
Preserving Poland’s Environment
Erosion is the natural process of wind, water and gravity wearing away soil and moving it, typically downhill. However, while the process is natural, it can be disastrous for people who have to live in a given area. Poland, just like any other nation of the world, can take steps to control and combat erosion in certain areas. However, it’s important that the proper erosion control methods are used in the right areas for the best possible results.
Geotextile Solutions
Geotextiles are erosion control products that are meant to go over the soil to keep it in place, but which still allow air, water and growth to take place. Geotextile composites look very similar to felt, and they go down over soil to hold it in place so that wind and rain don’t wash it away. However, the geotextiles aren’t so thick or so tight that plants can’t grow up… Continue reading

Great Polish Painters
The culture of Poland is closely connected with its intricate 1000 year history Its unique character developed as a result of its geography at the confluence of various European regions. With origins in the culture of the Early Slavs, over time Polish culture has been profoundly influenced by its interweaving ties with the Germanic, Latinate and Byzantine worlds as well as in continual dialog with the many other ethnic groups and minorities living in Poland. The people of Poland have traditionally been seen as hospitable to artists from abroad and eager to follow cultural and artistic trends popular in other countries. In the 19th and 20th centuries the Polish focus on cultural advancement often took precedence over political and economic activity. These factors have contributed to the versatile nature of Polish art, with all its complex nuances. Nowadays, Poland is a highly developed country; however, it retains its tradition.

My Polish Pottery
I did not know much about Polish pottery until we started to sell it as a retailer. My wife has had pieces for years, but I guess I never really paid attention to it. I know I’m a guy, and I should probably be looking at sports equipment or tools; but this pottery is really nice. The artistry and colors are beautiful and many of the pieces are great to display in your home, and make a beautiful collectible which can be passed down as an heirloom for generations! The pottery is lead and cadmium free, and safe to use in the microwave, oven, dishwasher and freezer. Best of all, it’s affordable and functional! Cooking in it is excellent and with its nonstick surface its better than using a Teflon coated pan (ok, I now sound like I really know what I am talking about!).
This pottery has been around… Continue reading

I live in this country almost 25 years and I can’t say that I am bored and don’t have idea what to do with my spare time. It’ s because throughout the years big Polish cities organized a bunch of festivals. Their range vary from smoky jazz sessions and students days to serious classical music performances.
