Amsterdam | Clay Hand Building Workshop on Ancient Greek Sculpture with Paris Vivianne
✨ Cycladic Forms: A Sculptural Clay Workshop
📍 Zoku Amsterdam | Amsterdam Oost
🗓 June 13 · 12:30 – 3:30pm
Inspired by the timeless beauty of Cycladic figurines — ancient sculptural forms created thousands of years ago in the heart of the Aegean — this hands-on workshop guides you through creating your own ceramic figure that bridges the ancient and the contemporary.
No experience needed. Just curiosity and a willingness to play.
What you'll do
Using intuitive handbuilding techniques, you'll build your own Cycladic-style figure, guided by the quiet elegance of simplified human silhouettes, balanced proportions, and a sense of stillness. The focus is on rhythm, simplicity, and form rather than detail or perfection — you'll be encouraged to work slowly and respond intuitively to the material.
You can choose to honour the minimalist spirit of the Cyclades and keep your piece raw and understated, or introduce a contemporary touch through surface texture or painted details. Both are beautiful. Both are valid.
You'll leave with a one-of-a-kind sculptural object and a few hours well spent.
What's included ✔ All clay and materials ✔ Step-by-step guidance throughout ✔ Acrylic paints (optional finishing) ✔ Tea and coffee

About the Artist
Paris Vivianne Panigiri is an abstract impressionistic artist whose work draws from the intricate beauty of nature, the depth of emotion, and the powerful movement of the sea. Her practice explores harmony as a layered, complex tapestry — mirroring the emotional textures of human experience.
Through color, form, and texture, Panigiri's work communicates beyond words, channeling emotion into tangible expression. Each piece becomes a quiet visual symphony, inviting resonance and connection between artwork and viewer. Her approach to making emphasizes intuition, emotional honesty, and the subtle magic that emerges when material and feeling move together.
