My guide to the Greek islands: Stelios Ceramics

In 2016 I took House & Garden on a tour of one of my favourite Greek island destinations, Stelios Ceramics.

Situated on the north-east coast of Lesvos, around a kilometre from the entrance to the town
of Manatamados, is the workshop of Stelios Stamatis.

Stelios is a professional clay potter and ceramicist. Using age-old methods, he produces household items
such as cups, plates, pitchers and pots. Passionate about tradition, the ceramicist is striving to keep
this ancient art-form alive. Stelios is very welcoming and will happily show you his workshop and ceramics.

I recently bought some earthen coloured plates that are decorated with handpainted white flowers.
They sit alongside the white plates in an original plate rack in my Greek Island kitchen.

Stelios can be found in his shop most days.
