What is Sealed Earth

Contemporary Ceramics Gallery &
Ceramic Studio

Sealed Earth is a ceramic art gallery and workshop for all who are attracted to making with clay, from absolute beginners to more experienced potters. We are uniquely located in central Athens, at the foothills of the Acropolis at 22, Erechthiou street. A place of calm and community, our carefully curated free-flowing space provides a perfect environment for people to come together to create and turn a slab of clay into ceramics that slay.

Our Gallery

Sealed Earth is the leading Greek gallery exclusively dedicated to contemporary ceramics, founded in Athens in 2020 by Loukia Thomopoulou. Nested near the Acropolis and additionally operating a nomadic satellite programming presence across the Greek periphery (especially the Cycladic islands), Sealed Earth has established itself as a dominant force in the national ceramics scene. The gallery bridges craftsmanship, fine art, and design, emphasizing experimentation and innovation through a program that features both emerging and established artists.

Our Studio

Sealed Earth occupies an open space of 175 sqm and is equipped with a slab roller table, a clay press coiling machine, potters wheels, three custom painted kilns of 750lt (our big yellow one), 80lt (our silver one), and 20lt (our blue one), comfortable workbenches for each member and a great variety of tools. There is also access to a library with a wide variety of literature for ceramists and artists, contemporary ceramic art subscriptions in European and US ceramic art magazines for inspiration, and outdoor space members can relax in.

Drop in, be inspired, and get dirty!
