Adamieion Ceramic Art Studio is located in the small village of
Marineika, 4 km from Zakynthos town and less than 30 minutes walking distance
from Tsilivì.
The studio is
built among vine grows, lemon trees and olive trees, on two floors, keeping
the architectural tradition of Zakynthos.
The owner, Dionysia
Avouri, was born in Zakynthos and studied ceramic art and
painting for 5 years in Athens, while working in ceramic workshops to
acquire experience and learn new techniques on making ceramics.
From 1996 she has set her own studio where she creates functional and
decorative ceramics.
 In
her workshop you can see the whole process of making ceramics: preparing
of clay, pug-mill, hand-kneading, wheel throwing, painting, glazing
and firing.Clay, oxides, glazes and other materials come both from Greece and other countries. Clay if fired from 1050°C to 1280°C. Dionysia loves her island, so all her creations are inspired from the nature, life, tradition, colour and smell of Zakynthos: ceramic olive branches, dinner sets with olives design, fishes and turtles, ceramic ladies inspired from old Zakynthos are only a few of her collections. |
