Ceramic adornments / Керамічні прикраси

I’ve started to make ceramic adornments since I entered Lviv College of Decorative and Applied Art named after I. Trush (here you can observe a gallery of Ceramic Department and a little bit of College’s history).

Let me present you my latest collection. I hope you’ll enjoy it 🙂

How did your first contact with ceramic musical instruments occur? How did you gain experience in making them?

Here is my story.

Plein-air Art-Zhyzhal‘12, Bobruisk/Арт-Жыжаль’12, Бобруйск

Here are some of my impressions about the plein-air “Art-Zhyzhal” in Belarus I participated in this summer.

The 10-th international plein-air “Art-Zhyzhal” took place on the picturesque bank of the Berezina’s river from 18 of July to 8 of August, 2012, near Bobruisk, Belarus. In this plein-air participated 25 ceramists from 9 countries: Belarus, Russia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Azerbaijan, Moldova, Ukraine and Venezuela.
