Schwerin celebrates 35 years of pottery: a market full of creativity!

Schwerin, Deutschland - The Schwerin Töpfermarkt celebrates a very special anniversary this year: 35 years of pottery in Schwerin. This market is one of the most beautiful ceramic markets of northern Germany and attracts visitors from near and far. On the first weekend in July, specifically on July 5 and 6, around 50 exhibitors from Germany and adjacent European countries will present their artistic ceramic pieces. The opening times are on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., so there is enough time to explore the diverse offers. Likewise, the market is transformed into an impressive open-air gallery that invites you to linger and browse, as well as the svz reports.

The offer ranges from user ceramics to artistic objects to innovative work, which are represented by new exhibitors such as the Japanese Atsushi Kitahara. The market not only offers the opportunity to admire the most beautiful ceramics, but also enables a direct interaction between artists and visitors - a rarity that the guests are very valued. "Personal contact makes the experience more intensive," says one of the organizers.

special highlights and diversity

This weekend well -known ceramists are represented, including international participants such as Job Heykamp from Belgium and Kamila Dziedzic from Poland. The variety of works offered is impressive:

  • Ulrike Uschmann - Unique porcelain work
  • Curt Lehmann - Animal Plastics
  • Ingrid Jacobsen - unique vascular objects
  • Thomas Stüke - garden ceramic
  • Hanno Leischke - sink
  • Beate Pfefferkorn - award -winning porcelain jewelry
  • Ross Campbell - imaginative insects made of clay

The selection is large and ranges from rustic user ceramics to exquisite works of art. Various manufacturing and burning techniques, such as raku and salt fire, are presented. The careful selection of the exhibitors is carried out by a specialist jury of the association sound and tones, which ensures the high quality of the works of art, as on [bi us in north] (https://www.bionsinnorden.de/veranstaltungen/schweriner-Schweriner-tfermarkt-164421) is explained in detail.

tradition meets the future

According to Sylvia Ludwig, the chairman of the association, the promotion of young people in the pottery is very important because it is becoming increasingly difficult to find training positions. "This market is not only a place for art lovers, but also a springboard for future potter," says Ludwig. The musical accompaniment is adopted by the duo "button and braid" from Wismar, which gives the market an additional cozy atmosphere.

Another highlight is the possibility to become active yourself. At the stand of Rainer Finck, visitors can try out their own skill in pottery and learn some techniques. So visiting the Schwerin pottery market becomes an unforgettable experience for the whole family.

A comprehensive list of all participants and works can be found on the official website Schwerin Töpfermarkt. The Keramiko also offers an overview of other interesting pottery markets in Germany and Europe, which awakens the anticipation for events in the future.
