The exhibition will bring together both professional designers and educational institutions. One of the most notable elements will be the exhibition presented by 15 students from the ceramic studio at the "Svetoch Plus" school. The works on display were created under the guidance of experienced designers and ceramists – Alexey Menzelintsev and Karina Kasymova. This studio actively develops ceramics as a modern art form and educational practice. It involves children aged 5 to 12, which is a unique example of integrating applied arts into early artistic education.
As one of the oldest crafts in Central Asia, ceramics conveys ideas about the world and beauty through form, ornament, and color, becoming a universal language of culture. Teaching ceramics at a young age is not just an artistic practice but a continuation of the region's centuries-old traditions. It develops children's spatial thinking, fine motor skills, sense of form and material, as well as skills in working through the process from idea to final result. Working with clay fosters patience, concentration, and responsibility for the created objects, while participation in a professional exhibition provides children with real experience in a cultural context, rather than just a classroom simulation. This approach promotes continuity between children's artistic education and professional activity, showing that modern design and applied arts can begin at an early age and develop to a high level.
