Description

A living discovery of ancient pottery

The pottery workshop in Athens invites you to explore one of the oldest and most emblematic arts of ancient Greece. From the outset, the experience immerses participants in the artistic world of Athens, where pottery played an essential role in daily, religious and cultural life. In this way, the workshop enables participants to understand the role of this art form through the centuries, while practicing it in a hands-on way.

Thanks to this approach, pottery doesn’t remain a mere object of history, but becomes an accessible and lively means of expression.

Learn basic pottery gestures

Throughout the pottery workshop in Athens, the teacher provides personalized guidance for each participant. Whether you’re a beginner or already initiated, you’ll learn step-by-step the basic techniques, essential gestures and traditional tools of the potter.

Gradually, you model your own piece of clay, leaving room for creativity while respecting the fundamental principles of Greek pottery. In this way, everyone progresses at their own pace, without pressure, in a calm and caring atmosphere.

Create a unique and personal piece

The workshop focuses on the creation of a personal object. Each participant creates a unique piece, reflecting his or her inspiration and learning. The piece is then fired on site, guaranteeing a lasting result faithful to the work carried out during the workshop.

Once baked, the creation is delivered free of charge to your accommodation, or can be picked up directly on site. In this way, the experience extends well beyond the workshop.

An artistic experience accessible to all

The pottery workshop in Athens is designed to be accessible. No previous experience is required, and the small number of participants encourages a lively exchange with the teacher. As a result, the activity is equally suited to curious travelers, art lovers, couples, families or small groups.
