I was contacted by email and asked to look at the ceramics of the Clayhouse Gallery artists and was pleasantly surprised. To be honest, I know very little about Kazakhstan other then it’s the largest landlocked country in the world. Anyway art is a universal language and its always great to see fine creativity manifesting in a distant culture. Clay House Gallery is situated in Almaty, the largest city in Kazakhstan and features contemporary art with a specific focus on ceramics alongside paintings and jewellery. The gallery supports local artists in developing their work and its mission is to promote Kazakh contemporary art. The gallery features a fully equipped studio, where daily master classes are offered with instruction from a professional artist for both adults and children.
