The book Contemporary Ukrainian Ceramics is a fascinating account of the unique and distinctive ceramic craft boasting millennia-old traditions; of talented Ukrainians—true enthusiasts who explore, study, and interpret this rich cultural heritage, creating new meanings and visual aesthetics while shaping the contemporary Ukrainian cultural code. The publication features 27 participants—well-known national brands, studios, independent artists, and artisans from various regions of the country—who have shared their personal stories and interesting projects. Readers will be able to explore the work of brands such as MAKHNO, GORN, FAINA, Gunia Project, Guculiya, NADRA, Maslo Ceramics, and many others. The art section features work by artists such as Francoise Oz, Olha Pylnyk, Nina Murashkina, and others.

Pottery is one of the most widespread traditional crafts in Ukraine, finding new expression in the work of contemporary artists and becoming increasingly popular among the general public. Contemporary ceramics in our country are characterized by a blend of styles and an artistic approach. Artisans study and interpret folk motifs, using them as a basis to develop original patterns embodied in innovative forms and visual imagery. They employ traditional techniques, experiment extensively, and explore a variety of raw materials. The development of this craft in Ukraine today is facilitated by the latest technologies and materials, such as electric kilns, ceramic clays, colored pigments, and glazes.

In addition to stories about ceramic artists and their projects, readers will also find in the book in-depth articles by the renowned art historian Halyna Istomina on the historical development of the pottery craft in Ukraine, the zoomorphic style, as well as regional traditions—including Havarechchyna, Kosiv, Opishnia, and Podillia ceramics, and Vasylkiv majolica.
