PEOPLE FROM THE PORCELAIN FACTORY The exhibition People from the porcelain factory is curated by the anthropologist, Ewa Klekot, and the ceramist, Arkadiusz Szwed. Presented in the exhibition The Human Trace tableware set, has been manufactured as a part of the People from the porcelain factory project, carried out in one of the oldest ceramic factories in Poland. The set was produced on a factory production line by workers wearing gloves with their fingertips dipped in cobalt salts. The traces of their touch remain almost invisible until firing, when they appear on the porcelain body, as the cobalt turns dark blue. In this way the porcelain tableware keeps the touch of the workers' hands, revealing the role of the "human factor" in industrial manufacturing. Alongside the delicate tablewarue of the traditional Polish forms, the exhibition presents the photographs of the factory and its workers - the anonymous creators of fragile cups, vases and bowls.
