Join renowned ceramic artist Kala Stein for an immersive workshop exploring the art and culture of Greece.
This exceptional retreat begins in Athens with private museum tours and visits to contemporary ceramic galleries before transferring to the creative paradise of Aegina Island. Visit three renowned artists in their studios and ateliers for demonstrations, hands-on projects, and a rare, intimate glimpse into their practice. Dig local clay for terra sigillata, learn Bucchero (an adaptation of ancient Etruscan smoke firing), and explore the island's treasures including the magnificently preserved Temple of Aphaia and the Archaeological Museum's ceramic collections.
Every detail has been personally curated by the Meraki Team, from boutique accommodations to exceptional dining experiences featuring the finest local ingredients and distinguished Greek wines. You'll take home handcrafted pieces, refined techniques learned directly from master artists, and rare access to Aegina's most respected creative community.
This bespoke experience is perfect for ceramic enthusiasts seeking an exclusive, culturally immersive retreat.
