The place gives you, from the moment you enter, a warm and welcoming feel. Theodore and Valia are 2 wonderful people and I know that they will learn me a lot about pottery!
Just perfect
My wife and I had an amazing time creating our pomegranate. Theo was a fantastic teacher and the time we spent there just flew by in laughter. It was probably our favourite experience on our holiday in Rhodes, and it was an amazing holiday. I would have loved to have seen our completed pomegranates, but I love the ones we took home at the end and I can’t recommend the experience highly enough.
Εξαιρετική εμπειρία τη συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα... Μια δημιουργική διέξοδος σε έναν ζεστό και φιλόξενο χώρο...
Nous avons fait l’expérience « peinture sur mug » avec mes amis et nous avons adoré! Merci pour tout et pour ces souvenirs que nous ramenons en France !
We went to a pottery masterclass yesterday, and what I can say, Theo is an amazing person 😊 I liked it a lot to gain the pottery skills and learn more about Greek culture and people ☺️ thanks to Theo for this amazing experience here at Rhodes.
