HIPPOCRATES GARDEN. THE SEMINARS. Pottery Seminars. Pottery is one of the oldest crafts, used by primitive people in everyday life. Numerous excavation findings ( household items , decorative objects etc ) prove that clay, being the primary material found in abundance, led men to use it in many ways. Fired earth was a discovery of immense value. The creativity and imagination of man with the use of hands and four elements of nature Soil - Water - Air - Fire, resulted in the birth of the art of pottery. The term "Ceramic" means objects made from clay, stood in various ways, dried and finally became stable and unchanged under the influence of fire. The Pottery was one of the most famous arts in Greece because of its usefulness in everyday life. Mandy Chatzigiakoumi will welcome you in the beautiful world of Pottery. Mandy is founding member of Artists and Ceramists Union & Panhellenic Union of Ceramists and Potters.
