Ceramics recommended by istotne.pl
The selection of handcrafted ceramics is enormous during the fair. We recommend eight exceptional ceramic workshops where masterpieces made by human hands are created. Each of the featured ceramics is a unique art studio. Larger or smaller, with a longer or shorter history, each will delight you with its offerings and love for the vessels it creates. What do our ceramic studios have in common? Most often, they are family businesses, exceptionally close-knit and dedicated to their work; most interestingly, their creative imagination knows no bounds.
Visit the websites of the recommended ceramic studios and feast your eyes on beautiful designs, which you can also buy during the Bolesławiec Ceramic Festival from 18 to 22 August in Bolesławiec Market Square.
