Margarita Ecclesiarchou

Margarita Ecclesiarchou took her first pottery lessons at a workshop at the University of Aix-en-Provence, France, where she was studying philosophy. She later attended pottery seminars in Paris hosted by ceramicists who, though mostly unknown, were very good at teaching and laid the foundations of her craft. However, when it comes to the majority of her acquired knowledge, Margarita feels she is self-taught. She believes tradition to be the basis of all ceramics, from the ancient to the contemporary. They all offer her inspiration, yet by adding or subtracting some elements, she transforms her own creations into something original, an expression of her personal aesthetic.
