About:

GLËNA – a collection of ceramics designed and created by local artists, for which 3D printing technologies and traditional ceramic techniques were used.

The collection introduces viewers to Kashubian and regional art and its assumptions, which are central to the history of Gdynia and Pomerania. Each artist designed their own ceramics inspired by Kashubian motifs in a free and individual interpretation. The final result was a coherent yet original collection of functional and artistic ceramics.

GLËNA combines traditional craft methods with new technologies. It is an interdisciplinary and unique project that combines tradition and modernity in an innovative way. The authors of the works who took part in the project are designers, graphic artists, illustrators, artists not normally associated with ceramics as a creative field. In the project participated: Anita Wasik, Anna Rudak, Patrycja Podkościelny, Aleksandra Prusinowska, Eugenia Tynna, Magda Mokrzan, Monika Gradzik, Anna Wieczorek, Krzysztof Kossak, Jacek Wielebski, Vasyl Savchenko, Ziemowit Liszek.

The task is co-financed from funds received from the budget of the City of Gdynia, allocated through an open competition for the implementation of public tasks in the field of culture in the year 2023.

Organizer of the exhibition: PROTO TYPY.
