The symposium will last ten days and begin on 12 July. During it, the artists will create works in the studio of the International Ceramics Centre and present their works and achievements at artists’ talks (from 12 to 16 July in the BOK-MCC conference room, every day at 7:00 p.m.; admission free).
The following artists from Bolesławiec will take part in the symposium: Kamila Michoń (painter, student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław), Edyta Orlińska (ceramic artist), Zbigniew Zieliński (painter), Magdalena Konieczna (glass artist), Agnieszka Bandzior (ceramic artist, student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław), Rafał Tur (graphic artist, photographer), and Mateusz Grobelny (ceramic artist, sculptor).
