The Ceramics Centre has a unique setting for hobbyists and professionals alike, to find inspiration, encounters and enjoy Lapland’s nature.
ACC’s ceramics studio offers approximately 100m2 of working space and the space includes 2 electric kilns, a large 3000l gas kiln, a wood kiln and a beautiful lake view directly from the working space.
The Arctic Ceramics Centre is located in the premises of Wilderness Hotel Kirikeskus.
Residency programs
The premises of the ceramics centre are also offered for artist residency during all seasons. The high level of equipment, such as Finland’s largest gas kiln in public use (3000l), also enables the firing of very large works during the residency.
