Over 120 participants and 40 kilograms of clay – this is what the Ceramic Festival in Ełk looked like. On Friday, April 10, the Leszek Błażyński Hall at 16 Armii Krajowej Street in Ełk for eight hours was something like a time machine.

During the day, the hall was visited by groups from Ełk kindergartens and schools, as well as families who decided to spend the day in an interesting way. Everyone could try hand gluing from balls and rollers, painting ceramics in the style of Greek masters, imprinting their own tile on the common mosaic and – as far as possible turned out to be the biggest attraction – to stand by the potter's wheel and see on the vividly, as if a vessel is made of a shapeless lump of clay. The final effect of the festival is a common mosaic consisting of several dozen clay tiles made by the participants. After burning, it will go to the public space of Ełk.

The first edition was held under the honorary patronage of the Mayor of Ełk, Tomasz Andrukiewicz, and with funding from the budget of the Ełk City Hall. Admission was free.
