Sifnos pottery at Moin Coin Studio



Mon Coin Studio at Plaka, Athens.




The exhibition consists of ceramics from the island of Sifnos. Sifnos is well-known for its ceramics, and you can find lots of examples in Athens galleries and shops,




particularly, of this series which are made by Yannis and Nikos Lembesis. We own a few pieces which we use on a regular basis. 

Most of the pieces in the exhibition are functional. I have indicated, as usual, the name of the maker under each piece - the words in brackets denote the town/village where the maker's studio is located.

It's a very timely exhibition for us as we just have booked us a break on the island of Sifnos, so it was a foretaste of what is to come.
