The Magic of Village Art
Holder: Barbara Vrtačnik
Project contents: With the geometric centre of Slovenia, antique tool museum, adventure park, catering offer and other sights, the village Vače represents a popular hiking destination in the Heart of Slovenia. However, there is a poor offer of souvenirs for visitors. The project’s purpose was to arrange a potter’s workshop, which is a step forward in this direction.
Within the framework of the project Magic of Village Art, Barbara Vrtačnik first educated herself to work with spindle, then she arranged a potter’s workshop with a furnace, electric spindle and other equipment in the garage. She started her own promotion by creating the integral image of the company (logotype, cards) as well as the website www.keramikabarbara.si. This way she is able to make pottery products in her potter’s workshop as well as make representations for the visitors, whose numbers are increasing each year.
Project duration: May 2011 – December 2011
