Potworowski spent a large portion of his life as a lecturer and Artistic educator, both in Britain and Poland. By all accounts, he had an extraordinary ability for bringing out the creative potential of his students. He pushed them, whether at Corsham Court or at the University of Poznan, to paint in the most innocent approach. He urged them to allow themselves an adventure of discovery and an exploration of the unknown. A piece of art, he said, must always be an invitation to the imagination of the beholder, it must never try to communicate anything except through imagination. So that each time we look, the space and the objects are rediscovered afresh.
