A fully immersive Cycladic Experience

3-hour ceramic handbuilding workshop in our studio

Connect with clay and learn how to create your own unique ceramics

 

Our workshops introduce you to the handbuilding techniques so you can unleash your creativity!

The handbuilding techniques are fun and less time-consuming ways to build your own ceramics!

​In just ONE handbuilding lesson, you will be able to make your own mug or maybe a second or third creation of your choice!

For those of you visiting Syros for a month or more, we have a package of 4 lessons (once a week) at a discounted price, so that you can be introduced to all 3 handbuilding techniques (slabs, pinching, coiling) and have one more lesson for painting or building another creation combining all the techniques you have learned!

In case you need a more customized experience, please don’t hesitate to contact us!

​Choose the workshop that suits you better, immerse yourself in a truly Cycladic experience, and make your own unique gift from your visit to Syros, a small treat to remember your days in the Cyclades and smile!

With love from Syros,

Ioanna
