“Ceramika Artystyczna” (Artistic Ceramics) Artistic Handicraft Cooperative in Bolesławiec is participating in this year’s edition of the international consumer goods trade fair Ambiente 2026 in Frankfurt am Main from February 6th to 10th.

Our booth is located in the DINING zone, where traditional craftsmanship meets modernity, and designers explore the evolving art of table setting, translating new trends into interior design.
Following this year’s Ambiente 2026 trends, we have created a collection of tableware in bold colors, which, with the rounded shapes of the ceramic forms, gain a lightness and coziness. Our nature-inspired design is unique, with timeless, subtle patterns and a versatile approach to design in every color palette.

This year’s trends also include sustainability, caring for the environment and our surroundings, which is already a daily practice for “Ceramika Artystyczna.” We invite you to visit our stand. Designers Teresa Liana, Maria Starzyk, and Karolina Śliwińska have created a variety of colorful and cobalt blue graphic decorations, as well as floral patterns in shades of cobalt, green, and red, hand-painted on molds designed by Mariusz Ochocki and Bronisław Wolanin. New products presented at Ambiente 2026 include the latest decorative designs painted on popular molds, as well as new molds in perfectly coordinated decorations.

We invite you to visit our stand in Hall 12.0, E56.

Being a leader in the hand-decorated ceramics industry is a huge commitment for our Cooperative. It requires continuous improvement in production quality and technology. It also involves overcoming challenges and solving problems involving clay, a natural raw material sourced from the bowels of the earth from open-pit mineral mines near Bolesławiec.

Thanks to the determination of many generations of employees who have dedicated their professional lives to our plant, including Krystyna Anduła, our long-time Chief Technologist, and our current team of specialists, experienced professionals, and qualified employees, we pride ourselves on the highest quality of the functional and decorative ceramics we produce.

The entire production process, as well as research and technological development, is conducted under the supervision of Chief Technologist Wioletta Werstler, M.Sc. Eng., a graduate of the AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków – Faculty of Materials Science and Ceramics, majoring in chemical technology, and Technologist Eng. Magdalena Pietruszka, a graduate of the AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow, Faculty of Materials Science and Ceramics, majoring in ceramic technology, in collaboration with the AGH University of Science and Technology Research Group and the Institute of Glass and Ceramics in Warsaw.

The scope of work is very broad and encompasses numerous precise activities and laboratory tests. It requires continuous monitoring of work at every stage of the production cycle, as well as thorough verification of the correctness of the operations performed by production, technical, and quality control supervisors. Most important, however, is close and professional cooperation in the exchange of information and observations with Production Manager Grzegorz Gil and the entire production supervision.

Each day begins with the preparation of the ceramic mass in the Mass and Glaze Processing Department, precisely according to the recipe for the raw materials for the slip and plastic mass, developed by the Chief Technologist. After dewatering in the filter press, the plastic mass is sent to a vacuum press and then to the Moulding Department, while the slip goes to the Foundry Department – ​​all for the production of a raw semi-finished product, which is then biscuit-fired in specialized ceramic kilns.

According to a technological recipe, the Cooperative’s laboratory prepares ceramic paints for the Painting Department, especially for demanding decorative designers seeking new colors to make ceramics attractive and in line with current color trends.

Raw materials, finished ceramic masses, ceramic paints, and liquid glazes are subject to daily laboratory testing by employees Grażyna Trawniczek, Anna Leśniowska, and Sylwia Drapiewska.

Our efforts are confirmed by the Cooperative’s latest certificate. The Polish Guarantee of the Highest Quality certificate was awarded by the European Chapter of Quality and Ecology on January 8, 2026, and is the best confirmation of the excellent quality of our ceramic products. We are pleased that our customers will be able to pride themselves on having products that meet their expectations in every respect.

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the premiere of the film “The Saragossa Manuscript,” directed by Wojciech Jerzy Has and produced at the Wrocław Feature Film Studio, Mr. Tomasz Broda initiated an interesting artistic event, which we were delighted to participate in.

Mr. Tomasz Broda, a professor at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław, created a series of original cake stands painted with original designs depicting scenes from the film. These ceramic cake stands will become a unique addition to one of the greatest works of Polish cinema and will serve as an idea combining the culture of Spanish azulejos with the Bolesławiec ceramic tradition. In conjunction with Mr. Tomasz Broda’s work, he also created a limited edition of 100 ceramic mugs for collectors featuring the likeness of Zbigniew Cybulski, who played the main role in the film. The mugs are available from today at the STYL Brand Store in Bolesławiec. We cordially invite you to visit. Mr. Tomasz Broda is a cartoonist, illustrator, poster artist, and professor at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław. He creates masks and puppets from everyday objects, which he has presented in his own programs on TVP.
