5.00In September 2025 we attended a ceramics workshop together at Dionysia. They let us make a turtle and a bowl. Dionysia then took care of the glazing and baking. A few days later we were able to pick up our beautiful pieces. Totally proud of course. During the workshop Dionysia told about herself and we were told a bit of history. What a nice, sweet and competent woman, full of passion she told about her work as a ceramicist and her ceramics studio. Once home, our tricks are shining and showing off (with ouzo sweets). Dionysia, thanks again for your hospitality and the super nice workshop. Greetings, Herman and Muriël
Memories that will really last a lifetime!

5.00Wow, what can I say... we came on holiday with a child who gets terrible sea sickness so wanted something fun and different that didn't involve boats! We found Dionysia and her incredible ceramics studio, the memories we made that day as a family will really last a lifetime. Dionysia's expertise, patience, joy and knowledge of her craft and the island are second to none. We had never made ceramics before and as complete novices, are incredibly proud of what we made! A turtle and a bowl each.... We were then treated to delicious food and drink in the garden which was such a bonus on a hot sunny day. 2 days later our finished products were delivered and we just love them.I cannot recommend this enough for something special to do if you visit Zante.

5.00We got to make 2 items a turtle and a bowl. The instructions were really clear and there were refreshments throughout. The setting is idyllic looking out over the olive groves and it was a lovely chilled experience. I would highly recommend. We went towards the end of our holiday and so weren't able to pick up the pots once fired so that might be something to consider. We walked from our hotel in Tsilivi through olive groves with cyclamen and wild narcissus, green lizards darting across the road verges, beautiful villas, prickly pears, oranges and bourganvillea. A great experience!
Wonderful inspiring gallery of work

5.00Wished we gone earlier in the holiday so that we could make something. Whether you visit to make or enjoy the creations, stop in here. The shop/gallery is crammed with beautiful pieces to wonder at.
Fun, creative and surprising results

5.00Very nice workshop, we’ve made a turtle and a bowl. Dionysia explains all very well, so everything can make something that survives in the oven. We’ve chosen had a lot of time to finish our crafts and there was no pressure at all to finish quickly. We’ve chosen to send it to our homeadress, not cheap but worth the money as everything was packaged very carefully and robust to survive the trip. All in all, an afternoon full of creativity and the end result is great.

5.00We were a three generation group of six, and we had the most enjoyable and relaxing day. A wonderful teacher who clearly enjoys sharing her knowledge and art. Even with a bunch of novices like us! The workshop and surroundings were stunning and sitting under the olive trees with delicious refreshments was an amazing finish to the day. Our items were nicely glazed and carefully wrapped for us. Thank you.
A must to do..

5.00The whole experience was fantastic!! From the welcome from Avouridionysia's to the making, history and end product. She is passionate about her art and it shows, wanting you to make the best ceramic pieces that is unique to you. As we were going home before they would be ready...she took all our detail to post them on. You will not be disappointed by the experience...calming, educational and very enjoyable!!

5.00Great ceramics shop with lots of beautiful things. From tableware to jewelry, vases, wall plates, keychains. In short, everything. Both lower and upper floor full of ceramics. Also possibility for taking ceramic workshop. Open daily. After October, store closes early. Very helpful owner. Location easily accessible including parking options. Sits near Zakynthos town and Tsilivi. We have already seen some ceramic shops but for this one you want to drive around and come back!
A fabulous experience

5.00This was one of the best ‘excursions’ I have ever experienced on holiday. Dionysia is not only a supremely talented ceramics artist but a wonderful teacher. Three generations enjoyed the most fabulous workshop and we would recommend it!
