Dzielimy się wiedzą w muzeum ceramiki w Bolesławcu

In our Bolesławiec Ceramic Factory, every piece is handcrafted from start to finish. Compared to factory-made products, our items stand out not only because of their production technique and design but also for something more. Our products bear the intangible imprint of the creators' effort, who meticulously give each piece its shape, form, and final, eye-catching appearance. Like any true manufactory, we also have our secret recipes and methods, passed down from generation to generation. However, not everything is kept secret! We believe that the piece of Bolesławiec history represented by ceramic creation is worth promoting. That is why we created the Living Museum of Ceramics, where you can see firsthand—sometimes even with your other senses—the art of making ceramic vessels. We cordially invite you to our manufactory if you are visiting Lower Silesia!

Dishes from Bolesławiec in a Living Ceramics Museum

We follow current trends but remain faithful to traditional patterns and the principles of our brand. Regularly, new models of dishes from the Bolesławiec Manufactory appear on the market, featuring characteristic navy blue motifs. They are produced in accordance with tradition and have their origins right in Bolesławiec, where the museum is located. These are unique products on a national scale. We still use manual solutions, which you will learn about during the visit to the ceramics museum in Bolesławiec.

Tour of the factory

All individuals interested in learning about Bolesławiec pottery traditions are invited to tour the ceramics manufactory. During the visit, we will present all stages of production, allowing everyone to closely observe how our ceramics are made.
Together with a guide (you can book a guided tour in Polish, German, or English when making a reservation), you will have the opportunity to learn each step of producing stoneware vessels, from creating the ceramic mass, through mold casting, hand-turning, cleaning, firing, decorating, glazing, to the final second firing of stoneware pottery.
Due to the specifics of our museum, please adhere to the rules and familiarize yourself with the Tour Regulations.

Interesting facts about the Bolesławiec Ceramic Museum

Ceramics in Bolesławiec have a long history dating back to the 18th century. The first ceramic workshops were established here as early as 1750, and the craft tradition continues to this day. In the museum, you can see preserved historic kilns used for firing ceramics, which serve as evidence of old techniques and production processes. Bolesławiec ceramics are famous for their characteristic patterns, such as “Bolesławiec flowers” or the “button motif.” These motifs are extremely popular and serve as a recognizable symbol of the region. In addition to permanent exhibitions, we regularly showcase temporary exhibitions that explore various aspects of ceramics, from history to modern trends.

With young visitors in mind, we have prepared a workshop program where children can develop their manual skills and artistic sensitivity. We offer an engaging lesson on local history, during which children will mold clay vessels and then paint them by hand. The ceramic workshops are conducted by experienced staff (there is an option to organize sessions in German or English), who will explain the secrets of the pottery craft to the youngest participants during outdoor activities, organize games and quizzes, and also give children a guided tour of the factory. Each participant receives a Young Ceramicist diploma.
