Ceramics in practice

Clay... Soil and water, a primordial raw material... Simple, generously offered, available in nature and throughout time. Able to mold, transform, cage and give shape to dreams, fantasies, needs, beliefs and
doctrines. Once again regenerating and differentiating itself through time and space... It becomes a tool, a deity, a form of written speech, a home, a work of art… It can take any shape its creator desires… and rests afterwards, then once again recycles itself back into its initial pure form. 
At this ceramic workshop, we will discover together this ancient form of art through play and fun! Our fingers will be covered in clay and we will carve into it shapes and designs, while uncovering all its secrets. 
During our time together, we will also wander through history, via the statues, the figurines, the amphoras, the jewelry and the artifacts exhibited in the place, helping us learn about the Minoan, the Cycladic and the Mycenaean civilizations, as well as the Classical period. The activity's multiplex area combines the charming outdoor cafe, the unique replica shop, an exquisite antiques collection and the captivating thater stage...This form of art causes admiration and excites the imagination… urging creativity and promoting initiative and teamwork.
