ABOUT MY STUDIO

Hi, I'm Kostas.

​

     I grew up in Athens, in the area of Peristeri. When I was a kid, I used to draw and play with plasticine, a type of children's clay, everyday. I was addicted to this incredible medium from the age of 5, resulting in my complete infatuation with this remarkable material—a fascination that still endures to this day.

     In 2015, I established my studio in Athens, where I collaborated with a friend, creating the workshop "the ant ceramics".

 

     In 2023 I start working mostly alone, thus creating my new studio, the ceramics workshop "ORTIKI", 

I have a deep passion for teaching! I began teaching ceramics design a decade ago. Initially, I taught ceramics jewellery classes, but I later shifted my focus to hand-building tableware techniques. So far I taught hundreds of classes and I what fills me with joy is seeing people, especially complete beginners, getting immersed into ceramics and clay work through my class.
