This is a place where magic begins at your fingertips, dances with fire, and sparks the imagination. Bardak was founded by potter Saša Matić and his wife Jelena. Together, they channel their creativity into ceramic works and into teaching others, whether they are pursuing a new hobby or looking to turn it into a profession. Join us and discover one of the oldest artistic crafts. It is also one of the most relaxing hobbies of today.
Every journey begins with a first step, and also with a destination
Technique and technology come first in the creation process. Ceramics is, above all, an artistic craft, and it must be approached that way.
Every new day is a chance to learn something new, through education, conversation, or creation.
Top quality is essential in everything we do. There is no compromise when it comes to choosing materials or respecting the process.
For us, sharing knowledge is a responsibility. There is no place for holding back information.
Exploring ideas and creating original works are at the heart of what we do. We encourage freedom of expression and a personal touch in every step of the process.
Ceramics is a natural material that respects nature and supports a healthier lifestyle, without harmful effects on the environment.
Ceramics is our world, and you are always welcome to be part of it.
We create unique functional and decorative ceramic pieces in limited series, just for you.
Potter’s wheel, hand-building techniques, and ceramic decoration, all in one place. Feel the magic at your fingertips.
If you're looking for a workspace, kiln firing services or expert advice, you're in the right place.

A wonderful place where you can spend time in a creative way, with your fingers covered in clay and guided by professionals. I received a voucher as a birthday gift from my daughter and her family, to expand my knowledge and creativity. It has brought me great joy.

Our programs take place in Belgrade and Novi Sad. In Belgrade, we are located at 14 Pančićeva Street, and in Novi Sad, you can find us in a passage accessible from both 12 Dunavska Street and 6 Ise Bajića Street. Maps of our locations are available on the Contact page of our website.
In addition to our comprehensive Ceramics Course, we also offer a variety of ceramic workshops. These are suitable both for those who wish to develop their skills and work independently, as well as for those looking for a fun and creative time with family and friends. You can find the full range of our programs in the Education section of our website.
All of our programs are fully beginner-friendly, so no previous experience is required. If you already have some experience with ceramics and are enrolling in our Ceramics Course, you can discuss with the instructor how to adjust the program to avoid repeating segments you’re already familiar with.
The course fee covers everything you need: materials for making and decorating your pieces, firing of all works created during the course, all necessary tools, and protective equipment. You don’t need to bring or purchase anything separately.
Yes, you can purchase a gift voucher for a loved one in the amount of a selected course or workshop. Full details are available on each individual education program page, along with a form to order the voucher.
All available ceramic pieces can be found in our online shop. You can choose to have them delivered by mail or pick them up in person at our studio in either Belgrade or Novi Sad.
We do not create custom pieces based on design images provided by customers. However, it is possible to place an order for an item from our shop that is currently out of stock, if you are interested in a piece that was previously available.
