The first international festival of ceramic art “Leave a Trace” will take place August 8-12 2019 from 12 to 6 p.m. by the Gosudarev Bastion at Peter and Paul Fortress and at the exhibition of the Museum of Architectural Ceramics “Keramarch”. The project is timed to the 30th anniversary of the Soviet-American project “Clay Stomp” (Milwaukee, USA - Leningrad, USSR).
Russian and foreign ceramic artists, as well as residents and guests of the city who want to “leave a mark” will join the festival. At the end of the festival a large-scale ceramic art object - the globe, a symbol of peace and friendship will be created. It will be placed later in one of the public spaces in the city.
