Krystyna Sargent studied 3D Design, Ceramics with Glass at De Montfort University,  Leicester. After graduating with a B.A.(Hons)  in 1984 she opened her own design studio in Leicestershire, producing one-off and small production runs of ceramics, exhibiting in galleries throughout the UK and at that time supplying John Lewis in Oxford St. London.  

Her current work is inspired by ancient artefacts with mystical themes, using Celtic and Chinese script and imagery.  Textures and contrasts are Krystyna's trade mark  

In 1986  Krystyna began training in the martial art of Taekwon-Do in order to force herself out of the workshop and do something completely different.  In 1990 Krystyna earned a first Dan Black Belt and opened her own Taekwon-Do school soon after.  Now in 2011 she has been instructing Taekwon-Do at Parklands Leisure Centre in Oadby, Leicester for 20 years and is a 6th Dan International instructor and examiner with the International Taekwon-Do Federation.

Krystyna is frequently commissioned to design sculptural awards and trophies for  Taekwon-Do events  and is now sought after to produce individual achievement awards for dignitaries around the world.  As well as her sculptural award work, she designs sculptural tiles for interiors.
