In the exposition “Polikarps Čerņavskis – master and personality” one can learn about the life and work of a well-known Latgalian ceramist, he is also called a father of Latgalian ceramics. It is interesting to compare how during times P. Čerņavskis improved his craftsmanship – starting from simple household dishes, until sophisticated forms of decorative ceramics. Thanks to P. Čerņavskis was created Preiļu ceramic group (1986), to continue and develop traditions of Latgalian ceramics.

Potter Jāzeps Caics and potter Raivo Andersons, who teaches master classes, lead tours, is a good storyteller, will help every visitor to learn to stick it out of clay, work in the pottery house every day. After firing, it is also possible to receive your work by post – as a nice memory of visiting Preili!
