Training seminars workshops
For Adults and children over 15 years old
Engaging in the applied arts requires patience, concentration, and creativity. You distance yourself and create.
You concentrate and evolve. In a time when everything moves fast, engaging in ancient applied art helps to reduce stress, manage difficult emotions, and enable us to handle situations more effectively.
In Estia’s workshops, beyond any trends or temporary fads, we believe in the healing of the soul through the hands.
Experiential Pottery Workshops
Like another form of meditation, pottery is the antidote to the fast pace of modern daily life.
Here, there is no need to hurry. Here you put aside your phone and experience the liberating touch of hands with perhaps the
most ancient material of creation: clay. Thus, pottery is not just an activity but primarily a process that leads to inner peace and healing of the soul.

For Children
Understanding and adopting elements from the roots of Greek tradition is perhaps the main goal of Estia Pilio, and not just for adults. There is no more important audience for us than children. School-age children, teenagers, and young people, are the focus of Estia’s educational program.
Learning Pottery
Undoubtedly, pottery art, this primitive creative activity, connecting humans with their cultural evolution, is of great interest to young ones. It helps develop skills and abilities, fine motor skills, and concentration wherelittle hands and eyes learn to cooperate. It is a relaxing activity which provides a sense of completion every time a small work of art, a tiny miracle, is finished.

Discovering Pottery and Weaving Art
With a long history, both pottery and weaving are ancient art forms that have been passed down from generation to generation and continue to be practised up to the present day. In the pottery presentation by potter Christos Giannakopoulos, we will learn about the beginnings of the art, its secrets, evolution, and application today, and be initiated in the magic of the wheel, seeing how a lump of clay and water is shaped in just a few minutes into an intricate object in the hands of the potter. Antigoni Tsirogianni, one of the few weavers left today, will guide us through a journey in Weaving Art. She will take us on an imaginary journey through one of the oldest of arts bringing us to today by creating a small miracle in the form of a unique woven piece from skeins and threads, right before our very eyes!
