From June 25th Kaunas Faculty of Vilnius Academy of Arts launches International Bone China Symposium '18.

The aim of the symposium is to promote the use of porcelain in the creation of contemporary art objects. The creative process will involve 3D modelling and printing with 3D ceramic printer which provides artists with new possibilities for their artistic expression. International artists participating in the symposium represent contemporary ceramic art in a global context. After getting familiar with the local environment and cultural context, participants create works of bone porcelain specially tailored for the intended exhibition space. This phase of the project is based on academic research, process awareness and discussion in order to reveal new ideas and discover new porcelain identity. Artworks created will be exhibited at the National M.K.Čiurlionis Museum collection.
