People needed to store, dine or carry out various every day jobs and pottery helped a lot!

While I was in Sifnos I discovered this amazing pottery shop where everything is handmade, the ingredients are of top quality and they even export to Canada (!!!)... Impressive? Not if you feel these handcrafts with your hands. There is always a reasoning! You can visit their site: https://www.sifnosstoneware.com/en/
