KLIKA CERAMIKA

The project is backed by the Sowiarnia Foundation, which, thanks to the Klice Ceramika facility run by the Creative Collective, integrates the creative community, conducts educational activities and promotes craft ceramics.

This place is not only a craft workshop, but also a creative centre, an art gallery and an original craft shop. The works presented by a dozen or so ceramists in the exhibition spaces are as diverse as a ceramic meadow. We want to showcase the diverse activities of ceramic artists, while preserving their distinctiveness and uniqueness.

At the same time, Klika is the first place of its kind in Krakow where residents and tourists can not only see and purchase ceramic works, but also learn about the technical process of their creation through meetings with living craftsmen or participation in workshops. Thanks to this diversity, Klika Ceramika is not only a place of education, but also a community where everyone can find their place. And that is what makes it unique on the map of Krakow.

Our main goal is social, educational and cultural activity for artists, residents and tourists through the organisation of workshops, vernissages and lectures. The events organised will be an opportunity to exchange experiences, make new friends and develop a shared passion for working with clay. We want to bring people together through ceramics and inspire them to create.

Project coordinator KLIKA CERAMIKA

MONIKA JANKOWSKA

Nazywam się Monika i koordynuję działania fundacji Klika Ceramika. Łączę artystyczne poczucie estetyki ze zmysłem organizacyjnym oraz wyczuciem trendów.

Z wykształcenia jestem pedagożką, mam doświadczenie w pracy z dziećmi, młodzieżą i zespołami. Przez lata prowadziłam projekty społeczne, zarządzałam zespołem i tworzyłam miejsca, w których ludzie mogli się rozwijać. W Klice Ceramice kocham to, że możemy łączyć sztukę z relacjami i dawać ludziom realne narzędzia do wyrażania siebie.

Lubię działać z sercem i konkretem. Można się ze mną skontaktować w sprawie współpracy, wydarzeń, warsztatów i wszystkiego, co może wzbogacić naszą fundacyjną misję.

KLIKA ARE PEOPLE 

IT ALL STARTED WITH THEM – THANK YOU!
