Pottery Lab by Stagkidis | Pottery Classes & Workshops

Discover pottery in Pieria through hands-on workshops and classes with professional potter Ioannis Stagidis.

Ioannis Stagidis has been working professionally with ceramics since 1985, specialising in the creation of ceramic objects on the potter’s wheel. His experience also includes nearly 30 years in education, where he has shared his knowledge of pottery through adult education programmes in Europe and Greece.

Today, his workshop offers an opportunity to learn pottery in a personal, hands-on environment, with guidance throughout every stage of the process.

Pottery Classes & Workshops

The Pottery Lab offers activities for different levels of experience, including:

• Pottery workshops for beginners and experienced participants
• Pottery wheel classes and seminars
• Hands-on ceramic sessions in the workshop
• Lectures and educational sessions on ceramics, from the Neolithic era to the present day
• Themed pottery experiences connected with the history, culture and landscape of Pieria

Whether you are discovering pottery for the first time or already have experience with clay, the sessions focus on learning through practice and direct guidance.

Learn Pottery on the Wheel

The potter’s wheel is at the heart of Ioannis Stagidis’ work.

Participants have the opportunity to explore the basic techniques of wheel throwing and develop their skills with support throughout the learning process. Classes take place in his own workshop, creating a more direct connection between the student, the craft and the working environment of a professional potter.

Pottery & Themed Experiences in Pieria

Pottery can also become a way of discovering Pieria beyond its better-known attractions.

Ioannis Stagidis is involved in thematic tourism, offering multi-day ceramics workshops and symposiums combined with visits to historical places and picturesque natural settings.

These experiences connect ceramics with the wider cultural and natural character of the region.

Experience Pottery in Pieria

A pottery workshop is more than learning how to work with clay.

At Pottery Lab by Stagkidis, that experience takes place directly in the potter’s workshop, with personal guidance and a strong connection to the craft itself.
