The exhibition will bring together not only professionals but also educational institutions. One of the main highlights will be the exhibition of works by 15 students from the ceramics studio at the "Svetoch Plus" school, created under the guidance of experienced designers and ceramists Alexey Menzelintsev and Karina Kasymova. These professionals are actively developing ceramics as an important direction in art and education. In their studio, children aged 5 to 12 are engaged, which is a unique example of integrating applied arts into early artistic education.
Ceramics is one of the oldest crafts in Central Asia. Through its forms, ornaments, and colors, it conveys cultural representations of the world and beauty, becoming a universal language of culture. In this context, involving children in ceramics is not just an artistic practice but a continuation of the centuries-old traditions of the region. Early exposure to ceramics fosters the development of spatial thinking, fine motor skills, a sense of form and material, as well as the ability to bring ideas to fruition. By working with clay, children learn patience, concentration, and responsibility for the objects they create. Participation in a professional exhibition provides them with the experience of genuine cultural interaction, distinct from educational imitation. This approach creates a connection between children's artistic education and the professional environment, demonstrating that modern design and applied arts can begin not only in higher education but also from an early age, with a conscious and quality approach to learning.
