Summer memories are imprinted on white clay.
The end of the Greek summer is sealed with the beautiful fluffy juicy figs.

My fingers are guided by the image of ripe light-green fig that grew and mature on the branches of a fig tree, and so does a piece of white clay in my hands gets wrapped and shapes each fig individually! I choose the colors simply by following their natural colors because the sight of fruits brings us joy and I intended to keep that joy alive for longer.

With its tiny seeds, it symbolizes prosperity, fertility, and knowledge and become a landmark for the Athenians, who at a prominent moment in history, replaced wild oaks with sweet and juicy figs.

The trip of every single ceramic fruit I make starts when a piece of clay, wrapped in my hands, ends up into an earthenware clay, shaped according to the fruit that I am about to make. For some particular fruit, I use a mold also made by myself.

In the creative process, the protagonists are the four elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water).
I mix the water and the earth (clay) and I shape it into the desired fruit earthenware clay. Then I let it dry naturally in the air before I put it in a high-temperature oven (1040° C - F 1832) and allow the fire to make it hard and durable.

I get inspired by nature around me, with the colors alternating through their times from the mystery that the fruits hide and their journey through time from one end of the earth to another. 
To make my fruits and nuts look realistic as they were in nature was a real challenge for me.
In their skin hide incredible colors that they gain throughout their life on the branch.

All the fruits I make are realistic with their own story and their symbolism.
We can offer them as a unique and impressive gift,
 but at the same time very personal which will come to accompany our transformations in every occasion and moment of our lives.

What makes my ceramics unique is that they are all handmade and that for some of them I use molds also made by myself. Finally, I also offer you a great variety in dimensions and shades. You can order the fruit and nuts that are displayed on my e-shop in the size and the color that you prefer! Please note that the time that I need to prepare a new item is approximately two weeks.
