Highlights

Next, spend 2 to 3 hours with Dionysia to get hands-on with clay and craft your own unique ceramic keepsakes from Zakynthos island. The standard project involves making two pieces: a turtle and a second piece of your choice (bowl, tile, etc.). The shape, style, and decoration of these pieces are up to your imagination and creativity! Your ceramics will be left to dry under the sun, after which they will be glazed and fired. They will be ready to collect from the kiln 2 to 3 days after the lesson, depending on weather conditions and the kiln firing schedule.

After the lesson, take a stroll through our farm and admire some of the oldest olive trees in Zakynthos.

Amazing - This was such a splendid experience. Our host was talented, informative and patient. We learned about the origins of ceramics and our mateirals and we had a very relaxing few hours making our creations. We were excited to see the final product and really enjoyed the finishing touches our host gave our pieces. They will be momentos that we treasure for a life time. The gift shop is also fabulous with mutli priced options of beautiful pieces. Thank you!

Excellent value for money - a super fun class! - Dionysia's class was amazing. She took the time to explain the history of clay, gave us all a piece to experiment with and get the feel of, and helped make sure that we all knew how to work with clay safely (to avoid bubbles which would cause explosions in the kiln). She then guided us through shaping an adorable turtle and bowl, and allowed us time to decorate them. She explained the steps of painting, drying and firing the ceramic pottery and what it could be used for (due to time constraints, she did the painting and glossing, and we were informed that the bowl was decoration only and not food safe as that would require additional time in the kiln) I would highly recommend taking this class if you have a few days (make sure you leave time to pick up your creations!)

Wonderful and insightful class - Dionysia was a wonderful teacher, along with her cat Cairo. He was a very good boy, and spent the entire lesson sleeping at our feet or on our laps. Dionysia taught us how to make turtles and bowls, and explained in depth the entire process of shaping, firing and painting the ceramics. We just had to come back a few days later to collect them. I highly recommend this activity for the day, the studio is in a lovely place.

Lovely - It was a delight to meet and see Dionysia’s art when being welcomed by her kind husband. You feel absolute tranquility inside and outside in the garden. Being introduced to ceramic art by Dionysia amidst the olive trees was lovely to do.

The best day of our holiday - This was the highlight of our holiday in zante. I booked for myself and my 13 year old son and both of us absolutely loved the experience! We have created pieces of pottery to remember zante and these memories will last a lifetime. The experience taught us the history of ceramics, techniques needed to achieve successful pieces and it was just amazing. We both made a turtle and then had the opportunity to make a Freeform piece as you can see on photos attached! I couldn’t believe how fab they turned out! This place is a definite for anyone looking for a really great experience that is authentic and would suit anyone from families to couples.

An incredible passionate experience of art - It was one of the best experiences ever. Dionyisia was the sweetest host, her story made us fell in love with her job as she shared with passion. If you go to Zakynthos do not miss the opportunity to have a class with her, or at least to go visit her incredible shop and studio, we were amazed by and wanted to buy every unique piece made by her.

Great Experience! - Just received our ceramics from Dionysia and we love them! The ceramic making was a really great experience and it’s lovely to go home with something so unique from Zakynthos. The workshop was in a beautiful setting. We were outside in the shade to make the ceramics. There was a great shop too so we had lots of inspiration before we started and the opportunity to buy one or two things afterwards. I’d definitely recommend!
