I made a mug and my sister made a Ramen bowl. Its was a nice calming activity.
Wonderful lady, very talented and helpful. Clean studio. All materials provided. Learned a lot and made a great souvenir to take home.

Great family experience
We had a nice time with Irene who is very welcoming, smiling and pedagogue. In two hours, for a first pottery class, we managed to make our own production. It's a memory we'll keep for a long time. The space is very nice, in the heart of a quiet working class area of Athens. We look forward to our productions at home. Thank you again Irene for this beautiful time. We recommend eyes close this activity which has been a timeless break away from the hustle and bustle of Athens
