What Creta Ceramic (Manolis Moutsakis) is known for

In Thrapsano, the pottery village about 30 km south of Heraklion, potter Manolis Moutsakis throws frost-proof jars, pots and planters on the wheel from local clay. The workshop continues the village's long tradition of large storage pitharia, fired for outdoor durability.
