Daisy – Handcrafted Ceramic Vase
by Kallia Panopoulou · Athens, Greece

My creative journey kicked off in London at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, where I studied product design.Despite my formal education in product design, my heart was always drawn to the art of sculpture and the intricate hand-building process. When I returned to Athens seven years ago, I embarked on a journey to delve into the world of ceramics, under the guidance of two esteemed ceramic teachers, Menandros Papadopoulos and Vangelis Magopoulos. It was during this transformative period that I realized my true passion lay in the art of ceramics.What excites me most is the fusion of designing a product and bringing it to life with clay. Lately, my work draws inspiration from the natural elements and textures of the seabed.In a nutshell, “Sea life is Earth’s final frontier, and I’m fascinated by the endless possibilities for artistic exploration through my creations.” This sums up my deep connection to the sea, reflected in my recent ceramic pieces.
