Arte TV, the European Culture TV, was in Crete last August for shooting a documentary about the Minoan woman.
I am really proud and honoured to be featured in the documentary and speak with Francois Xavier Freland about the Minoan woman and its close relation to the contemporary Cretan woman.

Crete, is the biggest island of Greece, located in the South, between the Aegean and the Cretan Sea. It is a mosaic of different landscapes, sandy beaches, rocky bays, traditional villages and vibrant cities, white mountaintops and a crystal blue sea!
The people of Crete are famous for their open heart, generosity and hospitality. The will never allow a visitor to leave their place without treating him raki, the traditional drink, and anything they have available in their houses.
Crete is a paradise of tastes, pure olive oil, herbs, fresh fruit, honey, delicious cheese and dairy products, all made here in this blessed island.
And of course a rich history dating back to the Minoan Civilisation, numerous archeologiacal sites and museums.
Not to miss – The palace of King Minos in Knossos, the sandy hills of Ag. Pavlos, the island of Chryssi, the Palm tree forest in Preveli, the Arkadi Monastery, the Old town of Chania and the Venetian Harbour of Rethymno. If you are brave enough you can reach the mountaintop of Psiloritis ( 2.400m) and enjoy a 360 view of the island.

Having your own studio with 4 floor looms and 4 table looms is a blessing but more often than not I have the feeling that there are so many things to do on my looms that time is not enough…My mind is overwhelmed with new ideas, new patterns and techniques to be practiced ,new materials, new products that could get in production…this is how KLOTHO HOME was born. And as every newborn, KLOTHO HOME has come to fill my soul with bliss and satisfaction and this unique feeling you get when you achieve new goals, when you realise that hours of hard work, threading and unthreading and warping and weaving and unweaving have not been wasted.When you have come to a point to reach a new mountaintop and “enjoy the view”.
KLOTHO HOME is taking its first steps. Right now it consists of a small collection of placemats,rugs,wall hangings , plexiglass deco items and cushion covers.
This is just the beggining…we are here to make more and more beautiful things to share with our customers and friends!!Comissions are also welcome. So stay tuned for more…
