PRODUCTION

Production of Boleslawiec pottery is multi stage process. It is a very time consuming task. Mastering of item takes about 2 weeks from start to final product. Our pottery is recognizable all over the world thanks to specific traditional decorations. All process start by picking up loads of raw clay from mine. Clay is mixed with other components and water in large mixers. After hours of mixing everything becomes liquid clay.
