Description

ARS Ceramics Centre was founded in 2019 by ceramic artists and designers in relation to the Estonian Ceramists' Association and operates inside the former ceramic factory production area at the ARS Art Factory.

ARS Ceramics Centre is dedicated to support emerging and established makers, to develop the contemporary ceramics medium and to disseminate knowledge and experience among professional artists and the general public. The centre endorses creative work, production, education and interdisciplinary research projects.

In collaboration with the Estonian Ceramists’ Association, ARS Ceramics Centre is running a self-directed residency program for ceramic artists and designers. The aim of this program is to offer individual professional artists a unique working experience at the historic ceramic production space and access to gas firing facilities.
