Kohila Symposium is an international wood-fired ceramics residency annually held in Kohila, Estonia. Every year, up to 11 artists are invited for a three-week period to create new work, collaborate through wood-firing, and share their experiences. The residency encourages international exchange in ceramics while fostering appreciation and understanding of wood-firing among both professional ceramic artists and the wider public.

Following 25 years as a space for exchange and experimentation in wood-fired ceramics, Kohila Symposium 2026 takes a different direction. For the first time in its history, artists return from past Symposium editions to work collectively on a single life-size sculpture as part of the “Anagama Baby Project.”
