In the potters’ villages of
Kendri
and
Nohia
, each potter had his own workshop area in the village. This included:
* A rough workshop building containing the wheel and other tools, which was also used as a storage space for fired pots.
* A medium-sized kiln for small pots.
* An outdoor area for clay processing.
There were also, exceptionally, a few isolated potters with organised workshops in other villages in Crete.
These potters did not make pithoi.
The pithos-makers’ villages, Thrapsano and Margarites, also contained a few permanent workshops where elderly potters produced small pots. After the 1960s, when the seasonal migrations ended, permanent potters’ workshops were established in these villages, with large kilns and spacious outdoor areas for preparing the raw material and storing the finished products.
