Activities we offer
Doing so many good things in the past years has brought us a certainty and conclusion that we are on a good path and that our persistence in keeping an independent and creative organization bears the fruit in form of more and more people visiting us to learn, share and enjoy.
Nowadays we offer our visitors creative activities, different kinds of workshops, local tours and participation in one of our exhibitions or other socially involved projects. Beside that, in our small gallery shop you can find original and unique hand-crafted ceramics, ranging from ceramics for daily use to pieces of art and original souvenirs. You can enjoy the peace and quiet of our growing and changing sculpture garden, drink a cup of coffee or tea made from our local herbs, join us for lunch, read a good book or magazine.

Croatia is a very popular tourist destination. And not without a reason. Our natural and cultural heritage is and has been an inspiration for many world travelers and world powers for millennia. And until today we have been a crossroad of cultures and religions, with unchanged, everlasting beauty of nature surrounding us. The philosophy of our atelier is nothing else but openness and welcoming international exchange.

Although there is no specific category that we fit into, we are very glad that people come to visit us, and that we can contribute in the whole experience of visiting Croatia.
