Discover more about ADAMIEION Ceramic Art Studio

Nestled in the tranquil village of Marineika, just a short distance from Zakynthos town and the popular beach of Tsilivi, lies the ADAMIEION Ceramic Art Studio. This isn't just a shop; it's a vibrant space where art comes to life, offering a unique glimpse into the world of Zakynthian ceramics. Founded in 1996 by Dionysia Avouri, a Zakynthian native with a passion for pottery, the studio has become a haven for art lovers and those seeking an authentic cultural experience. Dionysia's journey began in her childhood, playing with mud under lemon trees, and led her to study ceramics and painting in Athens before returning to her roots to establish ADAMIEION. Visitors are welcomed into a two-story exhibition space showcasing a diverse collection of Dionysia's creations. From functional pottery for everyday use to decorative ceramic sculptures, each piece reflects the colors, nature, and life of Zakynthos. The studio also accepts special orders and creates custom ceramic constructions for homes and businesses. Beyond admiring the art, visitors can immerse themselves in the creative process through hands-on workshops. Under Dionysia's guidance, participants can learn pottery techniques and craft their own unique ceramic pieces, such as the iconic Zante turtle. These workshops offer a memorable and personalized souvenir-making experience. The studio's location amidst olive groves, lemon trees, and vineyards adds to its charm. Visitors can admire some of the island's oldest olive trees, some over 1,000 years old, while children can play in the garden. The ADAMIEION Ceramic Art Studio provides a peaceful escape from the bustling tourist resorts, offering a chance to connect with local art and traditions.
