Giannis Zois

Giannis Zois masters the art of ceramic, as he would describe it as a Greek common language. In his Athens-based studio, the ceramicist explores the technical limits of his craft, looking for the forms which communicate in the simplest way. The objects he creates underline the true essence of shape. He designs everyday items like teapot sets, bowls, vases, and even lamps. He was born in Athens in 1978 and since 2014 has had a ceramic studio at Koukaki. Between 2010 and 2012 he studied at the ceramic school of Nikaia. He then continued his education by attending seminar classes with Kostas Tarkasis and Menandros Papadopoulos. Since 2011 he has participated in several group exhibitions. He has designed exclusive ceramic sets for the Benaki Museum Shop.
