Tour and workshop at the Mikkel Museum exhibition 'Delft Blue: ceramic treasures from a private collection'

The tour looks at the exhibition through a ceramicist's eyes, drawing parallels between history and the present day. The exhibition focuses on 17th to 19th-century Delft ceramics, and we discuss the materials and making process, the motifs and how they were used, and what drove the development of blue-and-white ceramics in Delft and the masters who worked there.

The tour is followed by a workshop in which participants paint a decorative tile inspired by Delft motifs, which is then fired in a kiln. The workshop repeats after strong interest in the previous one, run in cooperation with ceramicist Külli Kõiv, who graduated from the Estonian Academy of Arts in ceramics and art pedagogy and is active in exhibitions and masterclasses in Estonia and abroad.

Tuesday 17 November, 18:00, Mikkel Museum, A. Weizenbergi 28, Tallinn.
