"Sixty years ago I got acquainted to ceramics, and I, almost immediately, I appointed clay as my everlasting companion, a relationship which proved to be the rock, the foundation of my whole life.
 During this long period, which can be seen as a battle between a living creature and a simple material, there were victories and defeats from both sides, so different and so many, which, so to speak, annulated each other, yet, leaving  a  wonderful sense of completeness, equality and appreciation such as only a deep and sincere friendship can offer." - Maro Kerasioti
