KOHILA SYMPOSIUM anniversary special!

17.08.2020

Once again, on August 19th, begins the annual ceramics symposium at Tohisoo Manor House and kiln yard, in Kohila. In 2020 we celebrate both the 20th symposium and 20 years passing from the first anagama-kiln constructions. The format of this year´s symposium is different. Given the circumstances, the usual international event is postponed and the group is composed of local participants.
 
Kohila Symposium has become a tradition, an important event both in the local and international scene, gathering contemporary knowledge and skills around different wood-firing techniques while functioning as a mediator between the professional community and among the general public. Throughout the years the symposium has hosted 196 artists from 31 countries.
 
Participants: Ingrid Allik, Georg Bogatkin, Sergei Isupov, Kauri Kallas, Leena Kuutma, Kris Lemsalu, Aigi Orav, Laura Põld, Kadri Pärnamets, Leo Rohlin, Kärt Seppel and Annika Teder.
 
Artists are undertaking large formats creating the works in their home studios or in the facilities of ARS Ceramics Centre in Tallinn. The process may be followed along the social media. Communal firing together with the members of Estonian Ceramics Association continues through 20th-22nd of August in Kohila. Public exhibition at Tohisoo Manor Park will follow next Friday, August 28th at 4 pm. In the coming autumn anniversary exhibition opens in ARS Art Factory, being accompanied with a festive celebration and presentations.
 
People interested in the process of making and firing the ceramic works, feel free to contact and come visit us!
 
Project manager: Andres Allik.
Symposium is made possible by the support of Kohila Township, Kerako OÜ, ARS Ceramics Centre, Kohila Educational Centre and Estonian Ceramics Association.
