From the showroom, they directly sell her unique work to customers. Workshops are offered from April until the end of October, usually on Tuesdays and Fridays. They produce high-quality stoneware, including tableware for everyday use, sculptures, tiles for bathrooms and kitchens, sinks, fountains, and much more.

What can I say about Hanne Mi, more than she is one of the purest souls you will meet on Zakythos. My husband and I booked a private ceramic spinning lesson and we had the best experience learning this art and grounding ourselves in the spirit of Zakythos. For the longest time, we have wanted to try this experience and Hanne Mi provided us with the best lesson on the proper methods and techniques to practice this art. You can learn a bit about the types of ceramic art, compose several pieces, and fire/glaze your pieces to take home with you. I recommend you do this 3-4 days before you leave the island to allow Hanne Mi to bake and glaze your pieces for pickup. An outstanding 2 hour experience that leaves you with the passion and drive to learn more!

I attended one of the bi-weekly two hour pottery class with my 7 year old son. I was such a good experience, with friendly and knowledge teachers. The class is designed for everyone.
We had a great time throwing a pot and hand building our turtles. It turns out that my son has a bit of a flare for the wheel.
A thoroughly enjoyable morning was had by both of us and our pieces successful made it home.
I would advise booking early as the classes get booked up quickly in high season and you need the team to have time to fire your work before you go home.

Dear Kirstie
Thank you very very much for your positive review . It’s as you said smart not to wait until last day of your stay to attend the workshop. To transform clay to ceramics needs an average of 10 hours fire and at least to reach a minimum of 1000degree finishing with a slow cooling process. So making, drying, cooking, cooling - 2 or 3 days. But of course we can always post your items. Best regards Hanne Mi

Very beautiful ceramic objects, with very bright enamelling and with prominence in cobalt blue.
The creator said she is of Norwegian origins and, having fallen in love with the place and the local culture, she settled here for many years.
It is definitely worth the visit and you will undoubtedly buy something, without being passionate about ceramics like me.

This is a lovely small ceramic workshop and shop selling good quality ceramics in a wide range of sizes and price ranges. The owner seems to do everything herself, including running workshops where you can try your hand. She was really happy to chat, even though it was the end of a long day, was really friendly and had lots of lovely items on display. Highly recommended.

What an amazing time i had here at Hanne's ceramic shop.
I booked a private pottery lesson and as a complete begginer i was nervous.
Hanne and Martin made me feel at ease and they are both gentle and warm souls.
Hanne was patient and encouraging and i cannot thank you enough for the advice you gave me to take back home with me.
If i come back to Zakynthos, i will be sure to visit again!

We had a lovely time with Hanne. We were warmly welcomed with drinks and then met her sweet dog. Our pottery session was fun, informative and very enjoyable. It didn't feel rushed and it was really nice chatting to Hanne. There are lots of nice pieces to buy as well, if you just want to browse.
Thank you Hanne.
Thank you Hanne.

You must visit this unique workshop in one of the most beautiful areas of Zakynthos. You can find amazing tableware and not only. I have been using the plates I bought over 10 years ago every day and still enjoy eating from them every time.

Visited with my sister in law, we both loved making our bowls on the potters wheel, first experience for both of us. Found it very relaxing and enjoyable. We were both challenged by the sculpture making but managed to make recognisable objects. At €20 euros, it is good value for money and gave us a couple of hours break from the sun.

We rang Hanne yest pm to enquire about a pottery session the next day - she very kindly organised a session for us with a helper/guide and herself - it was our younger girls 12th birthday - she was encouraging and full of tips and info and gave you a great feel for throwing the clay - lauren said it was very “satisfying” and it did feel incredibly relaxing! Really fun, Martin was so patient and although we stayed WAY past the time they were in no rush and let us take our time - thank you so much - a really lovely time with lovely people and I think I’m a little jealous of their lovely way of life thanks again - we also get to bring our items home when glazed and out of kiln! Karen, Stephen, Carrie & lauren - thanks for laurens cake too!!

Dear Karen, Stephen, Carrie & lauren
I am very happy you enjoyed the -birthday- event. If you would like another private birthday lesson, give me a few days more to prepere a real and eatabld cake and not a cake made of clay. It was a pleasure to have you in the studio. Thank you!:-))
