The International Ceramics Studio went through - and survived - so many critically difficult situations. During the course of two and a half decades Kecskemét became a spiritual centre for ceramics craftspeople from Hungary and abroad.

Despite being barricaded off by the impenetrable walls thrown up by communist system, the International Ceramics Studio retained its intellectual freedom. The studio became known by all the creative artists, from all over the world, who come here either to work or to visit as "the meeting place for artists from East and West, the island of creative thoughts, the ceramic artists cloister"

The studio is celebrating the first 25 years of its existence. We hope that the passage of time will prove us right in having described the studio's 25th anniversary as it "first twenty-five years".
