Shape mythology into clay in a historic Athens studio

Join me at my ceramics studio in the historic Keramikos district, where pottery has flourished since ancient times. Inspired by the myth of the Minotaur, I’ll lead you in a hands-on workshop that invites you to create while connecting with Greek history and art. • I’ll welcome you with some local Greek snacks, juices, and coffee, as I introduce the history of Keramikos and its ties to Greek pottery. • Next, I’ll share the captivating story of the Minotaur, a mythical creature symbolizing desire and human challenges. We’ll draw inspiration from this legend to craft four individual relief tiles, which you’ll be able to take home to use as coasters or wall art. • Then, working collaboratively, we’ll combine your individual tiles so they become part of a larger unified, shared creation. You’ll take home a ceramic souvenir crafted by me, along with photos of your work and the group’s project. Together, we’ll spend the day combining creativity with mythology, leaving you with memorable ceramic art and a deeper appreciation for Greek culture.

I’ll guide you in using thread to enhance your composition, adding texture and depth to your artwork. • Reflect and share your experience with the group. You’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind keepsake and a fresh perspective on creativity. This workshop celebrates art, creative exploration, and the beauty of imperfection in an unforgettable setting.

Create silver jewelry

Think of your own idea and we will create it together, we can make either a ring, necklace, bracelet, pair of earrings or a small piece of art. We can even add a stone and do stonesetting. Your idea/design should have the size of about 3x3cm or 1,180x 1,180 inch , weighting approx. 4.5 gram. If you wish to have a heavier piece I can advice you and negotiate it at the workshop (an extra gram equals to 1euro). Except of silver we can also use bronze and cooper, as these metals add colour to some particular ideas. Try to keep your idea simple and in 2 dimensions, so we can accomplish it in about 3 hours. If you are not so sure about what to create, you can choose any of my designs, or I can advice you. At first we will make a sketch and after we will transfer the design on the metal and cut it out with the saw. Then we will smoothen up the metal's surface with emery paper and at last we will polish it to shine it up. The piece is yours and you can call it "My Athenian keepsake" or "My unforgettable time in Athens". Making your own keepsake will give you the chance to learn in real the technical steps of it's creation.
