Barbara Westwood at Amberif 2009 with Polish translation

U.S. jewelry designer Barbara Westwood was a special guest at Amberif 2009, March 11-14. She and her husband and business partner, Sky Hall, spent three weeks in Poland traveling between the cities of Gdańsk, the center of Baltic amber industry and the home of Amberif 2009, and Krakow, the cultural center of Poland. It was their first trip to the Poland and it will not be their last, as they were overwhelmed by the warmth and hospitality of the people; and the creativity and imagination of the artists and jewelry designers. I want more Poland, Westwood said.

As part of her trip, she held a seminar for students at Amberif. Heres a nine-minute excerpt of that seminar with Polish translation. You will have to turn the volume up a bit to hear it properly.
