Exhibitions, expositions
Local gallery:
Every year we present our work in a local gallery, occasionally we have expositions elsewhere.
Muzeum venkova Vysočiny: (“Museum of highland’s countryside”)
In spring 2007 our permanent exposition was set in this museum in Žirovnice. We made almost 800 ceramic products and arranged them into a fantastical Bethlehem (11 x 16m), which illustrates human life from birth to death. It is a unique Czech piece made by more than 200 students aged from 6 to 80 years.
PEKLO (“The Hell”)
At the beginning of winter 2007, a new project was setup in Humpolec. An exposition of clay figures from local underworld was placed in an underground gallery. The figures are connected with legends of gold mining and silver mining near Orlík castle.
