We don’t support just one ceramics workshop—we support the entire festival and our family city of ceramics. Because we’re from here! Don’t worry if you can’t visit us this year. The most interesting events and the most beautiful ceramics are only here. Of course, if you’re looking for excitement and shopping, we invite you to Bolesławiec Market Square! And to one of the world’s most original handicraft fairs.
