Cretan Spiral Pottery – Handmade Ceramics from Crete

With the simple goal of sharing the love of pottery, we created Cretan Spiral Pottery, a small local business built around our passion for clay. Nestled on our family’s olive farm by the sea in eastern Crete, our studio is a place where tradition, creativity, and daily work come together.

​

In 2005, I was first introduced to pottery here by a third generation production potter and learned in the traditional way of Crete, on the side wheel. That early foundation still shapes the way I work today, even though my own way of making has developed through years of daily practice and production.

​

Since 2010, pottery has been part of my working life on the farm. Over the years, I have introduced thousands of people to the craft through this place. For me, pottery has never been only about making and selling. It has also always been about sharing the process, the knowledge, and the joy of working with clay.

​

Today, our studio includes a production space, a shop, and pottery workshops. Together with my team, we create functional, one of a kind ceramics in a real working studio environment.
