Overview

Creating each pot is a unique moment. The ability that clay gives you from a piece of amorphous matter to create objects that will make everyday life more beautiful give it invaluable value. The hours I go to the atelier are for me a source of energy and relaxation, and that’s what I’m looking for those who visit my atelier.
The workshop is located 16 kilometres from Heraklion ( acces only with car ), in a unique location in the nature, with a spectacular view of Cretan mountains. The area around offers many opportunities for walking and visiting the nearby villages.

What's Included

  • Tea and coffee Coffee and/or Tea
  • Aprons to keep your clothes clean. Cretan clay, as well as the necessary equipment for the experience

    What To Expect

    At the beginning of the seminar, there will be a quick tour of the workshop area and information about the stages the clay goes through to become a useful object from an amorphous mass.
    Next, I will show you the different techniques you can use to create your own unique objects by hand or on the wheel.
    The creations you will implement in the workshop will need 3 - 4 days to be printed, this depends on the part you will implement as well as the weather conditions. You have the option either to pick it up, or I can color it for you in the color you desire, in which case you must account for another 2 days for the second baking. Note that the second painting is not included in the price.
    The construction you will create can be picked up after arrangement from the workshop. If you prefer, it can be sent to the address of your choice with your own expenses. Shipping to countries outside of Europe is quite expensive.
    Important information: Children must be accompanied by at least one adult, who also participates in the experience.
