Guided tours of the manufactory
Those who would like to take a look behind the scenes can do so, for example, on a guided tour of the manufactory, which is offered all year round in all weathers and is also designed to be child-friendly. In addition to a short film, some particularly valuable exhibits, a touch station and a photo station, guests are offered detailed insights into the creation of the unique Gmundner ceramics and the painting work.
Painting ceramics yourself – the creative time-out
For the whole family an experience, as the painting workshop is suitable for all ages. The choice is unpainted ceramic molds such as cups and plates as glazed raw ceramics. The original color palette is large: from colorful to classic to subtle, you can let off steam. There is also a wide range of motifs to choose from, so take a template or just paint away. So that the colors unfold their full splendor, the pieces must be finished 16 hours in the kiln. In 5-7 working days, your work of art is then ready for collection or the manufactory also sends on request to your home address.
