Create and paint your own ceramic piece in a workshop in Athens
Description
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. Please note that the firing and glazing process takes at least 4 weeks, plus shipping costs are not included in the workshop price (shipping costs start from 25 euros and they can vary depending on the country the ceramics must be sent to).

Very fun experience! Got the opportunity to create any type of piece you want - mugs, plates, etc. we were beginners so we appreciated the assistance. They take care of shipping so now we wait to see how they turned out!
Thank you so much! We’re so happy you enjoyed the experience. We can’t wait for you to receive your finished pieces!
Really fun, would definitely do again!
Thank you so much! We are really happy you enjoyed!!
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.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re truly delighted that you and your daughter enjoyed the workshop and that creating your own pieces was such a meaningful experience. We hope your handmade cup and bowl bring you many happy memories!
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!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled you had such a memorable experience and that the pottery arrived safely. It was a pleasure having you both!
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.
Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that your family enjoyed the experience and found the session fun and productive. We hope you enjoy your ceramic pieces once they arrive!
Our family of four (including two teenage daughters) had an amazing experience with a talented, friendly and patient instructor.
Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad your family had an amazing experience and that our instructor helped make it enjoyable for everyone. We appreciate you joining us and hope to welcome you back again!
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.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're really happy you and your family enjoyed the workshop and had fun making your pieces. It was a pleasure having you with us!
This was a very cool place to attend. I got to make my own ceramic piece. I did a coffee mug because I love coffee.
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're delighted you had a good time and enjoyed making your handmade coffee mug.
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.
Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed the experience and appreciated our team. Hope to see you again soon!
