12th Festival of High Temperatures: “Art Full of Fire”

The Festival of High Temperatures is the only artistic event in Poland during which artists from around the world share their knowledge and experience with other fans of “hot art” showing the audience their work from behind the scenes

During the twelfth Festival, which took place between June 21 and 23, 2019, it was possible to take part in numerous practical displays, workshops and exhibitions in three sections—ceramics, glass and metal. Creators from around the world as well as the artists associated with the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design presented their works and skills.

“This Festival brings together different artistic disciplines—glassmaking, ceramics and metal sculpture. It proves that despite the fact that we use different materials in art, we have something in common—high temperature. Work with fire is very demanding and exhausting, but it gives a lot of satisfaction and unique results.”

The Festival was accompanied by the conference “Fire and Art” which took place on Friday and Sunday, July 21 and 23, 2019.
