The attractive potter is one of four ceramics artists taking part in the so-called Pūdnīki School of pottery. He uses information from his ancestors in his work. Visitors to the workshop can watch Aivars producing his wares, starting with the spinning wheel and ending with the firewood-fired kiln. The artist’s output is on display and can be purchased. Visitors can commission artworks and try their hand at pottery themselves. The workshop also has a collection of antique irons and farm objects that have come from the nearby area. Vēsma Ušpele produces oil paintings and will be happy to display her artworks.
