XXI Kohila Symposium closing ceremony will take place on Saturday 31.07 at 19:00 at the Tohisoo Manor. Liz Wirestring will perform on harp. Heat will be added by the parallel program: opening of the fire sculpture in front of the audience. The petal kiln has been built by kiln master Andres Allik, the fire sculpture by Sander Raudsepp.
