Additional Information

Majolica, an age-old art form that seamlessly blends tradition and modernity, is a staple of Slovakia’s cultural heritage, prominently displayed in the city of Modra. This city is well-known for crafting ceramics and using classic methods to adorn cups, plates, and more. Skilled artisans provide an insider’s look into the intricacies of this craft.

Historically, several crafts flourished in Modra alongside viticulture, with pottery standing out as the most prominent. Despite the absence of a railway causing a decline in crafts, wine cultivation and majolica production continued to prosper.

In 1883, a pottery production workshop and a school were established in Modra. The traditions of the Slovak Folk Majolica are still upheld by the older generation of the community. The unique and authentic produce of this art, symbolic of Modra, can be purchased from the local facility, attracting both locals and foreigners (source: Dajama).

The cost involved varies based on the number of participants and whether a workshop is included.
