Pottery Art / Handmade pottery workshop
Preserving pottery, a traditional craft of Crete with roots in 7000 BC,
while developing it so as to serve the modern decorative and utility needs,
Michalis Houlakis is engaged in this art more than 25 years.
Designs of ceramic pots that were found in archaeological sites of the
Minoan period are included in his selection: Knossos, Pithari, Pithos,
Koronios, Minoiko, Mpogiatzopitharo, Brika, Amphoreas. Still handmade,
shaped on pottery wheels and wood fired in kilns burnt with olive seeds,
his pots and planters are characterized by the unique aesthetic of Greek
pottery of Thrapsano. With new designs he is trying to serve the needs of
modern homes and gardens: Munich, Electra, Icarus, Panos, Voni, Spiros.
Extra care is taken for the strength and longevity of the ceramics with
the use of anti-frost and water-proof materials. With respect to the
environment, natural and environmentally-friendly water-based materials are
exclusively used in our "handmade pottery for sale".
