Meeting/Redemption Point

    • 723Q+2M, Γοργολαΐνη 700 13, Ελλάδα | Follow the road to the university and then follow “Voutes” direction. You cross the village and continue for 1.8 km till you see a hill with the sign « Πετροκέφαλο / Petrokefalo » (the road starts to descend). Do not go up the hill but take the road on the right, vertical to the main road (and not the one going uphill to the village). Be careful not to pass this intersection that is about 1 km before another intersection with also sign “Petrokefalo”. There are 2 houses on you right, you follow the little street for about 200 m, there are a few houses on your left and then continue the road (it is a little deserted) till you arrive directly at the entrance of the workshop (the green door with the sign “Koumoulia”). Passing the entrance, on the turn there are 2 marked parking places where you can park your car. If you use the GPS, put first direction "Voutes" and not "Petrokefalo", then once you are in Voutes, use the link, otherwise the GPS might lead you through 4x4 dirt roads...https

What you can expect

  • Experience a unique pottery workshop in Crete, set in a beautiful natural environment surrounded by olive trees, just 16 km from Heraklion. With stunning views of the Cretan mountains, this award-winning atelier offers a relaxing and inspiring atmosphere for creativity.

    What makes this experience truly special is that each participant has their own pottery wheel throughout the entire session, no sharing, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the creative process. The workshop takes place in a small-group setting, ensuring personal guidance and attention at every step.

    During this 2-hour hands-on experience, you will be introduced to the art of ceramics and guided through the process of creating your own unique piece. You can choose between using the pottery wheel or hand-building techniques, depending on your preference. No prior experience is needed, making this activity perfect for beginners as well as creative travellers.

    The atelier has been welcoming international visitors since 2005 and has received multiple awards for its creativity and high-quality standards, offering an authentic local experience beyond a typical tourist activity.

    All tools and materials are provided, so you can focus entirely on enjoying the process. Your ceramic piece will be carefully dried and fired after the workshop. You can choose to have it glazed for an additional cost. Once completed, it can be either collected from the workshop or shipped to your home at your own expense.

    This is more than just a class, it’s a chance to slow down, connect with local craftsmanship, and create something truly personal during your time in Crete.
