Delfi.eeLast Friday, one of the Old Town's streets was lit up with bright yellow lights of a festive party. The
NUUNUU RUUM ceramics studio celebrated its third anniversary with a vibrant event.
The studio’s owner, renowned ceramic artist
Tatiana Vorozhun, decided to give Tallinn residents a special gift on this occasion by organizing an open masterclass on ceramic tile painting and a cocktail party, both open to the public.
The atmosphere was fantastic: a DJ played all evening, guests enjoyed lively conversations, natural Estonian
La Muu ice cream, cocktails, and even danced. The masterclass was especially popular: in groups of ten, under the guidance of an experienced ceramicist, each guest learned to paint tiles and created their own little masterpiece.
NUUNUU RUUM is already well-known among Tallinn residents not only for its ceramic workshops but also as a unique space for celebrations. Events like intimate gatherings with close friends or bachelorette parties featuring ceramic workshops have become very popular in recent years, and this trend continues to grow.
Interestingly, the workshops attract people from various professions, especially office workers, businesspeople, financiers, and programmers who seek to unwind from their daily routines and switch from intellectual tasks to hands-on creativity in a welcoming atmosphere. (The sunny interior and the warm hospitality of the
NUUNUU RUUM team are particularly conducive to this.)
A special pride of the studio is its handcrafted interior vases of unusual shapes, beloved by all visitors. These pieces are perfect for aesthetes and “those who already have everything” (as one guest put it). Each vase is fired as a one-of-a-kind item, creating a certain demand, and if you wish to purchase one for yourself or as a gift for an important business partner, you might first need to join a waiting list.
This summer, the studio hosted solidarity evenings for Ukrainians, where participants created ceramic heart talismans that are now available for purchase at the studio. The events were free, and all proceeds from the sales go to a charity fund to support Ukrainians.
The tradition of gathering to make ceramic hearts in the colors of a flag began in 2020 with Belarusians in Estonia, who use this creative expression to support each other in their fight against dictatorship in their homeland.
According to the studio’s owner, ceramicist Tatiana Vorozhun, ceramics is a magical process where four elements unite to create art: clay, symbolizing earth, mixes with water, dries in the air, and is fired in flames. The process brings immense joy and satisfaction.
