Footnotes

The Lviv School of Professional Ceramics (LKSF) was an experimental institution founded in 1946. The school adopted a unique blend of traditional and unconventional styles, pushing artistic boundaries as well as developing new techniques in ceramic sculpture and art. The wide range of utilitarian and sculptural work produced at the school points to its pursuit of advancing ceramics as a serious artistic medium rather than just a craft. As an experimental institution, the LKSF represented a new approach to ceramic arts that embraced innovation, surrealist influences, and freedom from the Socialist Realism resolution of the Soviet State. This promoted innovation and the establishment of the Lviv region as an important creative hub. Overall, the Lviv School of Professional Ceramics represented an important convergence between traditional handicraft and the avantgarde. Its experimental ethos and technical contributions left a lasting impact on modern Ukrainian ceramic arts.
