Prosvetno društvo Soča Kanal
Club of Ceramicists Kanal
The Club of Ceramicists Kanal, established in 1994, seeks to popularise contemporary ceramic art. It joins 26 members that gather at weekly meetings and organise monthly exhibitions to display their latest works in the premises of the Club on Kidričeva Street. In 2012 there were exhibitions by Ferdo Žorž, Andreja Krpan, Nives Volk, and others. Individual members also participate in workshops and exhibitions elsewhere in Slovenia and abroad.
The club annually organises group exhibitions in the Riko Debenjak Gallery as well as an exhibition at the end of the club's ceramics courses. Various ceramics and sometimes sculpture workshops organised by the club have thus far been led by Dubravka Urban, Alenka Vidrgar, Darja Žorž, Tone Rački, Petra Škerjanc, Zvonko Bizjak, and Dragica Čadež, the latter teaching about small–sized sculpture.
The club cooperates with related associations, for example, with the Ceramics Artists and Pottery Makers Association and the Ceramicists Society POC Ajdovščina. The biennial group exhibition TRANSFORMA is organised in collaboration with Centro Culturale Tullio Cralli from Gorizia, Italy.
