What To Expect

Join our experience store to attend a unique clay workshop and create your own souvenir. Our qualified and high-experienced ceramists, will lead you to create your own piece of art, regardless of whether you have any experience or not. During this workshop, you will get to learn free hand clay techniques and choose to create your piece from a variety of forms and shapes, such as a mug, a small vase, a bowl or a pot. After you complete your souvenir you can paint it with our clay colours. You then leave the piece with us to fire it, glaze it and fire it again, and you can pick up your piece at a later time if you are in town, or we can have it shipped back home to you. (In case you want to take your piece with you on the spot, you have the option to make your souvenir with high quality air dry clay, something you can decide just before our workshop starts).

What‘s Included

Clay, clay tools, table wheels, glazes and colours, aprons

Iced tea and cookies

A joyful experience making a wine cup just like the ancient Greeks!

One of my dreams was to create an ancient Greek wine cup in the heart of Athens, and this workshop made it come true. Although I was a complete beginner, our instructor, Dilek, patiently and kindly guided me to shape a complex cup within the limited time. My daughter also enjoyed making her bowl under Dilek’s clear and easy-to-follow guidance. It’s such a special feeling to savor wine from my own handmade cup! We’re deeply grateful to the Tales in Tiles team and highly recommend this workshop to anyone who is inspired by the art and pottery displayed in the museums of Athens.
The perfect experience!

I booked this for my partner's birthday present while we were in Athens and honestly it was the perfect experience! The workshop facilitators are so kind, patient and really informative about how to make beautiful creations from the clay. We were in a group with 4 others which was such a lovely amount of people and the workshop itself is really beautiful (and a welcome break from the Athens heat!). We had our pottery sent to us within the time frame we were told, really well wrapped and looking amazing! Excellent service from start to finish and a wonderful memory. Highly recommend!
A lot of family fun

We did this for our son who is really good at art. As it turns out we all really enjoyed ourselves. They had options to help younger kids make their own ceramic creation well. I was amazed how much you could accomplish in 2 hours. I wish we could have seen what the final product looked like prior to leaving, but we understand that the clay needs to dry to go in the kiln. We paid to have them shipped home. The shipping is not terribly expensive so not a big deal.

We had so much fun doing this as a family. We had 2 adults in their 50s 2 in their 20s and one 18 year old. Our instructor was very friendly and helpful. We all got to choose what we wanted to make and all had fun. The cookies hit the spot too. Also very relaxing and great way to escape the business of Athens.

This was such a fun experience and the studio staff were great. We learned some basic techniques, and each created a custom piece. The studio will even arrange shipping back to the U.S. for a small fee (25 euro). I would highly recommend booking this.

We had a great time with friends in this ceramic workshop. We were between us, at 4, and the experience was personalized, the warm welcome and we received our artworks by parcel, within the time indicated. What a beautiful memory! I recommend the experience 100%.
Great way to spend a couple of hours
