The target of my diploma thesis is a transformation of the Habana decorum into an actual utilizable object and examination of its impact on current design. This thesis is divided into two correlative parts theoretical and practical. The main subject of both these parts is the Habana ceramics. The theoretical part deals with the history, development and further proceeding of the Habana ceramics, including the focus on the current artists who are engaged in Habanas. In the practical part I am demonstrating my own creation of the Habana decorum using the appropriate materials.

The main aim of my master thesis is to describe the development of painted folk decor on ceramics since the arrival of Anabaptism in the Czech Republic. Selected Moravia workshops are used to track the decor development. Another goal of this thesis is to find out whether workshops that produce ceramics and subsequently paint it in the traditional way exit even today. Next part of my thesis is devoted to selected Czech workshops that produce painted ceramics. A presentation consisting of photos is included as well as a literature research.
