Dreaming of long, lazy lunches under olive trees, golden beaches, and the gentle clink of glasses on a sun-drenched terrace? Us too. This summer at Crafty Monkey, we’re taking ideas and inspiration from the colours, flavours and relaxed charm of a Mediterranean holiday —no passport needed!
In many Mediterranean cultures—think Italy, Greece, and Spain—family gatherings are a big, beautiful affair, often centred around long tables filled with laughter, good food, and shared stories.
Imagine your own table styled in that spirit, with large hand-painted platters bursting with colour, piled high with fresh food, and ceramic lanterns casting a warm, golden glow as the sun sets.
Painting your own pottery lets you bring a little of that magic into your home—pieces made with love, ready to be part of your own memories and celebrations.
Colours of Summer
Get swept away by the vibrant colours of summer: deep tomato reds, zesty lemon yellows, ocean blues, and olive greens. Let your imagination transport you to a little taverna in Greece, a market in Italy, or a seaside café in Spain.
Bring those Mediterranean holiday vibes to your next pottery piece
Here are a few dreamy pottery painting ideas to get you started:
🍅 Serving Platters with Tomatoes – Picture juicy, hand-painted tomatoes dancing across a rustic platter. Perfect for alfresco meals and antipasti spreads.
🍋 Water Pitchers with Lemons – Add a burst of Sicilian sunshine with bold, bright lemons on jugs or pitchers.
🫒 Olive-Themed Bowls – Simple and beautiful, olives and olive branches look stunning painted on little dipping bowls or tapas dishes.
Whether you’re planning your next holiday or just love that relaxed Mediterranean feel, this theme is the perfect way to savour the season and create something beautiful for your home.
