OMODAMOS CLAY ART- Souliou 5 Rethymno

" Art needs craft more than craft needs art" , as Franz Kafka used to say. Searching for a balanced combination of both we came down to a collection of nine different contemporary Greek ceramists. In our shop you can find a variety of techniques and our collection is renewed every season- or at least every successfully new artistic experimentation!
We can provide efficient and safe shipping service any time of the year and a nice friendly environment when you visit us in Rethymno.

Bicycle ride in the history of Rethymno

The association of people in Rethymno that come from Asia Minor, in cooperation with the association “friends of the bicycle” are organizing a bicycle ride in Rethymno Old Town through the streets, the buildings and the monuments of the first people that arrived in Rethymno as refugees from Asia Minor after the people exchange of 1922.

The bicycle ride will start from Venetian port (where the first refugees arrived) on Sunday 20th of January 2008, at 11 a.m.

Canterbury Tales in the Venetian Harbour, Rethymnon

From the flyer: SHIP OF FOOLS is a ninety year old seaworthy vessel that continues the good and old tradition of the travelling buffoon. She is an artist's family from many different countries, dedicated to the Arts and to the Seas. Their world travel is an endless pilgrimage in praise of Folly. Their passion is comic theatre. The ship is transformed into an absurd floating sculpture that serves as transport, home and kitchen, as workshop for theatre, costume and film and as scene and backdrop to their show. In 2007 they travel from Barcelona to Istanbul with a typical Azart version of the "Canterbury Tales" that combines comic theatre, comedia dell'arte, object theatre, music hall and operetta with the visual richness of the costumes and the natural setting of the Harbour of Rethymnon.
