This year’s edition will coincide with Museum Night, which will bring a large number of visitors to the festival events.
The event is organized by the Caolin Association, a non-profit organization founded in 2014 with the aim of promoting the art of ceramics and giving the general public the opportunity to interact with this medium. Let’s make this event a true celebration of ceramics!
