Mon Coin Studio is a ceramic-art gallery and retail space on Thiseiou Street in Monastiraki, a short walk from the Acropolis, founded in 2017 by ceramist Eleonore Trenado-Finetis. The space presents original, handmade ceramics, pottery and sculpture from established and emerging Greek makers, with an emphasis on showing the range of contemporary Greek ceramic practice rather than a single house style or generation. Beyond standing retail, Mon Coin Studio stages themed group exhibitions of contemporary Greek ceramics, positioning it as both a commercial gallery and a curatorial platform for the medium in Athens. Every piece sold is described as an original, one-off work rather than a production run. It keeps standard gallery hours, Monday through Saturday.
