Stanislaw Suska (1959), son of Waclaw, was a bricklayer by profession. After starting a family, he moved to Sztutowo in the Pomeranian Voivodeship. He continues the sculpting traditions of his family. He started sculpting while still an elementary school student in 1972-1973, living in Dabrowka. Initially, he treated sculpting as a hobby. Today, sculpture has become the basis of his livelihood. He sculpts figures of saints, angels. His works also find buyers abroad - in Germany, the United States. He eagerly participates in fairs and folk art fairs, including those in Kazimierz, and at other events promoting this trend of art. (Ethnographic Museum in Torun)
