Valsamakis Ceramics
The ceramic creations of Panos Valsamakis have left their mark on the history of Greek art and have been distinguished within and beyond the country. There are dozens of important milestones in the life of the great ceramist, including his studies at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Marseille, the artistic direction at the Kerameikos Factory and also at the AKEL at Lavrio, as well as the construction of his residence-workshop in collaboration with Michalis Orros in Marousi, in the 60s.
