International Symposium of Art Ceramics
Every summer, for about ten days, Ješkovo becomes a workshop for artists from around the world. The symposium has been held since 2009; in 2026 it took place for the 18th time, led by Dragutin Ciglar.
The artists go through the whole journey of ceramics: modelling, drying, firing, glazing and raku firing over an open fire. In recent years the theme has been “Earth, Drava, Motacilla alba”, and the works grow out of the nature that surrounds the centre. Young participants work alongside the artists, and visitors are welcome to come and watch the raku evenings and the closing exhibition.
So far the symposium has welcomed artists from Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, England, Canada, Russia and other countries.
