The course of ceramics for 8000 years is parallel with the course of the remaining human history. Despite the progress that presents the current technique that tends to replace the human effort with the mechanics, it continues the tradition.  Hydria Ceramics in Rethymnon uses the “red Cretan clay” and, with the help of a ceramic wheel, creates handmade vessels for each use with high resistibility. Afterwards they are cooked in two stages in a kiln, around 1000 degrees Celsius for each stage. The first stage aim is to alter the objects (vessels or not) from soft and ductile to hard and bulky. In the second stage the chromatic (without toxic) decoration of the object is achieved. You can watch the potter's hour of creation, but also elect the artist that is found in you. Visit this ceramic store in Rethymnon and experience making something of your own to keep from a memorable holiday in Crete.
