The Keramikos area was named after the most significant graveyard of ancient Athens. The origins of the name are from the age-old settlement of the potters (“kerameis”), who occupied the area along the banks of the river Eridanos.

The “kerameis” settled at the Keramikos area because of the rich clay soil found around the tiny Eridanos, which was suitable for pottery making. Eridanos, still flowing today through this archaeological site, had vanished for centuries, buried under 8 to 9-meter under the ground level. The river remained buried until 1960 and was discovered after excavations were conducted in the area.

Later, the Keramikos area and the neighboring area of Votanikos became part of an industrial zone; today, they are inhabited mostly by artists and all types of Athens residence, while also being home to museums, galleries, art spaces and several bars and restaurants. It is only two metro stations away from the center of Athens, and the nearest subway station is just 200 meters away from the art studio.
