Join Maud & marina on the beautiful island of Aegina, Greece to explore your creativity through writing, clay and play.

All you need to bring with you is your curiosity, an open mind & heart. A swim suit and walking shoes too!

And so that you know, no previous experience is needed.

This workshop will be held in French. For text in french go here.

How about capturing a Greek island’s winter spirit – without its summer, cumbersome tourists -  by way of creating texts and ceramics? This is what we would like to offer you in this writing and ceramics workshop on the island of Aegina, offering you special experiences and authentic encounters that will inspire you to create.

Every day, with Maud, you will discover and capture the beautiful energy of the island through creative writing: its port and evocative, archaeological sites, its history and myths, its varying landscapes and special light, its beaches and delicious food… As for marina, she will open her studio and invite you into a ceramics journey: day after day you will create your everyday cups, bowls, plates… objects that will embody your experience and carry vivid memories of it.

All this in a winter atmosphere, that gives space for way more intimacy in your relationship with the island than what you could ever dream of in any summer visit. Just like Aladin and his magic lamp, you will be the master of a crockery filled with some of the island’s magic – memories that you will be able to revisit whenever using it back home.

Aegina – a lesser known island with its own life & myth, which deserves some attention.

Aegina was a nymph seduced by Zeus, whose progenies were covered in glory. In Antiquity, she was a great rival of Athens, with its powerful fleet, its temples and currency – it is believed the first coins were minted there. In the early 19th century, during Greece’s war of independence, it is made first capital of the country.

Today it is known for its tasty pistachios, lively port, hidden marvels, archaeological sites and beautiful, patrician houses, a clear blue sea and a lively, artistic community. Only an hour away from Athens, it floats in the middle of the Saronic Gulf.
