Clay is one of the most distinctive elements in the soil of Kerava. Clay is also the reason why several brick factories have been established in Kerava in the past. Today, the Klondyke House, a brickbuilding in Savio, houses working spaces for artists such as Emma Helle and Mari Paikkari for whom clay and ceramics are natural means of artistic expression. Alongside them, the exhibition features other skilled artist working with ceramics, like Jasmin Anoschkin, Veera Kulju and Maisa Majakka.

In the skilful hands of these contemporary artists, clay is transformed into surprising shapes and contents, the wide spectrum of which is celebrated by the Carnival of Clay. In the exhibition, carnevalistic fairytale creatures encounter humanity, modern phenomena, young people’s world, mystery and the fragility of nature.

At the exhibition, you may also happen to see an artist at work, as Jasmin Anoschkin and Veera Kulju will work in the exhibition space on weekdays from October to November. 

The exhibition has received state funding from the Finnish Heritage Agency.
