ceramics are exported throughout Greece; they're in wide use because of
their durability and charming folk designs. One of the most interesting
shops is the ceramics workshop of Antonis Kalogirou (tel. 0284/31-651),
on the main harborside lane in Kamares. Antonis sells folk paintings of
island life and the typical pottery of Sifnos, which is manufactured in
his showroom from the deep gray or red clay mined in the inland hill region.
Another fine ceramics workshop is that of Simos and John Apostolidis (tel.
0284/71-258), on the main street in Platis Yialos.
In
Apollonia, Hersonissos (tel. 0284/32-209) has a choice selection of contemporary
jewelry and ceramics. There are several other contemporary ceramics galleries
featuring the excellent work of Greek artisans in the town's winding back
streets. |
