Behind the Scenes – Open Day at AMMA

AMMA is a community ceramics studio in the heart of Budapest where several independent artists work together. During their open day, visitors can gain insight into the life of the studio: they can learn about the processes of ceramic making, converse with the artists, and see works in progress or completed pieces firsthand. The event aims to bring creators and users of objects closer together and provide transparency about the studio’s community-based operations. The programme is recommended for anyone interested in the daily life of freelance ceramicists, the model of collaborative creation, or simply curious about who stands behind each ceramic piece.
The open day will take place on Saturday, 11 October 2025, from 12.00 PM to 5.00 PM at AMMA Studio (1085 Budapest, Mária utca 36). Current members of the community: Andrea Szuromi, Dorottya Esze, and Eszter Tábi, though membership is continually expanding.
