Potter Andris Ušpelis leads the National art studio „The Potters of Rēzekne District”. Annually, the studio organizes two major events – Potter Days in spring and local or state exhibitions.

The works of the potter recall shapes, color, decorations, and the style of the Silajāņi ceramics. Andris tries to maintain the traditional meaning of the ornamentation signs and to express his individual style. The potter makes the Svilpavnieks (Latvian instrument, a children’s toy), bowls, cups, and vases and he always follows the tradition not to use more than three ornaments on an item.

The workshop is situated in the beautiful countryside. You shouldn’t miss the chance to find out the history of the pottery in Latgale, to watch and try the pottery process as well as to see a magnificent exhibition of the author’s works. Available artwork orders and purchasing.
