Ceramics in Chiemgau: The exhibition Turned brings form into motion

On Friday, April 17, 2026, the exhibition Ceramics in Chiemgau “Turned” invites you to a special art experience at the Old Watch in the City Hall Ground Floor of Traunstein. 14 professionally working ceramic artists from the Chiemgau will showcase works that swing between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary forms of expression. The title refers both to the act of throwing on the wheel and to a free, playfully rebellious attitude towards ceramics.

Between functional items and sculptural forms

The exhibition connects everyday objects, vessels, and unique pieces with plastic and sculptural works. This tension creates the charm: ceramics here appear not only as a material for use but as an artistic medium with its own aesthetic power. Glaze, surface, volume, and rhythm of the form enter into a dialogue that makes the viewing of the works particularly lively.

Craftsmanship, attitude, and regional identity

Ceramics in Chiemgau has established itself, according to the organizers, as a solid part of the cultural scene around Chiemsee and beyond. The participating workshops represent professional studio ceramics that combine craftsmanship precision with individual flair. In this context, it becomes clear how closely cultural education, artisanal crafts, and contemporary exhibition practices interact. The exhibition makes visible how regionally rooted art unfolds a supra-regional impact through material, technique, and form.
