The international yarn art exhibition WARSZTAT TWORCZY - KOWARY / CREATIVE WORKSHOP - KOWARY is being organized to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the outdoor weaving workshops in the town of Kowary in Lower Silesia. The exhibition includes works by fifty-eight artists from all parts of the world.

The first outing in Kowary, participants of which included artists from the Wroclaw-based weaving group 10 X TAK / 10 X YES, was held in 1974. The outstanding atmosphere, interesting post-outing exhibition and a devoted sponsor, the Kowary Carpet Factory, encouraged the organizers to grant their project an annual dimension. Kowary proceeded to host exceptional artists from Poland and a range of other countries. With time, the workshops transformed into a discussion forum, during which artists would share their knowledge and experiences, present documentation of their creative achievements and jointly organize post-outing exhibitions. Alongside the traditional weaving workshops, the event also began to feature workshops on paper-making and cloth painting (especially silk). A total of thirty meetings have been held thus far in Kowary, drawing the participation of almost two hundred artists. The event was founded by Ewa Maria Poradowska-Werszler, who continues to be its organizer and curator.

Exhibition opening: June 12, 2003, 1 p.m.
