About Me

Maria Papacostaki is the great-grand daughter of a Greek priest, the granddaughter of a gambler and the daughter of a chef. Therefore, Maria, just like her pottery, is endowed with a perfect mixture of reverence, risk-taking and sensuality. She is a lover of many things, including her two children, her partner, swimming through the Aegean Sea, the moon, food, the musky smell of Greek churches and the candles that light them. She loves art, but refers to her pottery as mud play, and her poetry as word play and invites you to explore her work that is available here at mudplaypottery.com.
