The five-day ceramics fair is the largest event of its kind in Poland and one of the largest in Europe. More than 100 exhibitors take part, including ceramics manufacturers, while ceramic artists from various parts of the world come to the International Symposia. At the fair, you can buy hand-painted ceramic products at very good prices. During these few days, Bolesławiec shimmers in shades of cobalt, clay figures run through its streets, and music can be heard everywhere.
