Testimonials from students
“During the two months that I spent at Keramion, I learnt a lot about traditional pottery. The bestpart of the internship was to see the wood firing and learn the claymaking process. Margarites, the village where Keramion is located, is a very charming place.I really enjoyed living the pottery lifestyle in a small mountain village.”
“My internship at the Keramion was very valuable for my studies as a ceramist. From the clay collecting to the wood firing, I got to learn about the whole process of the ancient pottery, other than getting to know the local culture and what life is like in the village,I am very grateful for the experience.”
“Choosing Keramion as a place for internship, I already had an idea about working with ceramics, since I studied that for 2 years. The workshop and the people I met there, working and learning together, opened up to me a huge number of possibilities and areas of pottery that I did not know about before. It was an invaluable experience for me, the beginning of many discoveries and inspirations.”
