.Thin Line
The world of craft always exists in threshold zones – between softness and hardness, between wetness and dryness, between fragility and resilience, between tradition and innovation. It is a territory of transitions, of fine lines where one thing begins and another ends, where form shifts its appearance and material reveals a new dimension.
This year, we invite members of the Association to explore these delicate spaces and give them new expression: in a vessel that is almost a sculpture and in a sculpture that invites use, in a structure stretched to the brink of collapse or in an unexpectedly light object, in the encounter between personal memory and collective story, and in the sensory experiences of texture, transparency, hue, and formal delicacy.

The theme “Thin Line” does not set boundaries but opens possibilities. It is equally suited to small, intimate objects as it is to large-scale, complex works. Always, at the heart of things, lies that elusive moment when material shifts, meaning transforms, and both maker and viewer find themselves balanced on the taut line between two worlds.

The exhibition will open on Saturday, December 13, 2025 and run until December 27, 2025.
Delivery of works to the gallery by the participants: December 8–9, 2025.
