On Saturday, August 15, the Phoenix International Ceramic Plein Air opens in Polonne. For two weeks, residents and guests of the city will be immersed in the universe of ancient ceramic traditions of the region and the latest technologies of ceramics production.

The program of the plein air includes master classes, lectures and presentations of ceramists, an exhibition of Golden Tile ceramic tiles. Visitors will be able to make their own ceramic tiles, as well as take part in creating a huge mosaic painting, which will be assembled into a large art panel.

During the plein air, a unique fire sculpture "Ceramic Tree" will be built. Other entertainment includes a game of chess on a giant 10-square-meter chessboard. And in memory of the plein air you can make handprints in clay, thus creating your own unique souvenir.

The Phoenix International Ceramic Open Air is the first industry event of this scale. The task of the event is to remind about the ancient ceramic traditions of the region, to create a collection of modern kinetic ceramic sculpture with further development of tourism in our city, to show the evolutionary path of ceramics and the relationship of ceramic art with modern technological product - ceramic tiles.

“We have ancient traditions, rich land and talented people. That is all that is needed to produce the best ceramics in the world, - said the founder of Golden Tile Ceramic Group, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Charitable Organization "Polonsky Charitable Foundation of St. Valentine" Valentin Shevetovsky. - Golden Tile has built the Maidan-Vilsky Quarry in the Khmelnytsky region from scratch - a successful feldspar mining company that has pushed world leaders into the international market in just a few years. This is a clear evidence of the huge potential of the region. "

For his part, Mayor Franz Skrymsky said that from the very beginning, Golden Tile has shown itself not just as a business, but as a system investor in the region. “Our approach is that each company should develop together with the region, stimulate the development of infrastructure, social sphere, education and culture. This is exactly the approach needed to unleash the huge potential of our city. That is why we support the Golden Tile initiative and invite all citizens and guests of Polonny to the ceramics festival, - the mayor emphasized. - We want the whole world to know about the power and strength of our region. Holding the first international ceramic plein air "Phoenix" is an important step in this direction. We should be proud of the cultural heritage and the huge potential of the city.
