🐾 about the pawtery 🐾




Maria, founder of The Pawtery, is an artist who discovered her passion for ceramics after years of a research-based practice in the arts. Her work in ceramics is a natural reflection of her deep-rooted philosophy: an exploration of life through the lens of temporality and materiality. To Maria, life, art, and ceramics are interconnected, each embodying a pursuit of intimate knowledge about how the world works through tangible, temporal experiences.

The Pawtery is the culmination of this ever-evolving philosophy and practice. In her studio, Maria teaches ceramics, encouraging creativity and learning outside the boundaries of contemporary art, traditional handicraft, or professional versus amateur distinctions. The focus is on the process—on gestures that explore the relationship between time, materials, and our daily experiences.

Beyond her love for ceramics, Maria’s compassion extends to her other great passion—cats. Known as a "cat whisperer" for her deep connection with them, she dreams of one day establishing a charity to care for the stray cats of Cyprus. In the meantime, The Pawtery is not just a space for artistic creation but also a symbol of her commitment to improving the lives of cats, whether strays or pets. Through her studio, Maria hopes to inspire both creativity and compassion, fostering a community that values art and the well-being of humans and animals alike.
