Join a relaxing pottery workshop in Paros, held by the sea at Golden Beach. Designed for beginners, couples, families, friends and solo travellers, this three-hour, semi-private experience combines painting, wheel throwing and hand-building in a small group of up to six participants.
You’ll begin by painting and decorating a pre-made magnet or hanging ornament inspired by Paros, the sea and your own creativity. This decorative keepsake is yours to take home the same day. Please note that it is decorative and not food safe.
Next, try wheel throwing with traditional ceramic clay. With step-by-step guidance, you’ll learn beginner techniques including centering, opening and shaping a simple form on the pottery wheel.
You’ll then explore hand-building by pressing, shaping and forming clay by hand. The wheel-thrown and hand-built pieces are practice pieces. Because ceramic firing and finishing take longer than the workshop, these pieces are not fired or taken home.
A short break is included, together with one complimentary coffee or glass of local wine. Guests may take an optional swim at Golden Beach during the break and are also welcome to remain at the beach for a swim after the workshop.
Private classes, special group bookings and villa pottery experiences may also be arranged on request, subject to space, access and availability. For custom requests, contact us through WhatsApp or email.
