Ceramics workshop Kalni Race([Kahlnih Rahtzeh] – “Muddy Hands”) was founded in 1999 as a family workshop. We create ceramic plates, candleholders, pitchers, bowls, mugs, bowls, goblets, vases and more all made by hand on a potter’s wheel. We pride ourself to be one of the few art studios left to still use the pottery technics used by the master potters from 11-13 century.
We love what we do and strive to bring you the best quality products. To achieve that we make sure to use the highest quality material and tools. All art pieces are baked at 1000°C(1832°F) to ensure highest durability and strength.
Our studio is trusted by a number of galleries, exhibitions, souvenir shops, pubs and historic restorations.
