Ceramic Workshops

Become an artist, with these entertaining workshops

Our Pottery – Ceramic Workshops are designed for pupils, students (from schools and colleges), and adults (travel groups). The seminars deal with ceramics, sculpture, painting, and hagiography. The participants of these experiential ceramic seminars have the opportunity to travel back in time, learning about how and from where the ceramic arts started. With the help of the instructors, they can also create their own pottery items. You can combine it easily with your visit to the archaeological site of Mycenae as it’s located in a close distance.

History & Glossary

The pottery of ancient Greece from c. 1000 to c. 400 BCE provides not only some of the most distinctive vase shapes from antiquity but also some of the oldest and most diverse representations of the cultural beliefs and practices of the ancient Greeks. Further, pottery, with its durability (even when broken) and lack of appeal to treasure hunters, is one of the great archaeological survivors and is, therefore, an important tool for archaeologists and historians in determining the chronology of ancient Greece.


Whatever their artistic and historical value though, the vast majority of Greek vases, despite now being dusty museum pieces, were actually meant for everyday use and, to paraphrase Arthur Lane, it is perhaps worth remembering that standing on a stone pavement and drenched with water, they would have once gleamed in the Mediterranean sun.
