My name is Fotini Tikkou and I'm an illustrator and ceramic artist based in Athens, Greece.

My brand "The Good Stuff" includes a wide range of illustrated goods and handmade pottery all made with tons of love.

This is the first book I have written as well as illustrated. It is the story of a little black smudge that lives in a colorful place full of colorful creatures and how that makes her feel like she doesn't belong.

Until one day everybody's life changes forever.

This is a story about self-acceptance and loving your uniqueness.

I'm so happy to share with you that I have collaborated with Anthropologie to bring you a collection of colourful, quirky Face Mugs

My face planters are definitely the most popular items in my shop. These little ceramic planters take a long time to make as they are completely handbuilt and handpainted. This process is quite slow, therefore production is small. I usually list small batches every 2-3 months. They do sell out pretty fast though. So if you want to get notified about new releases, please subscribe to my mailing list below.

In October 2018 I opened my very own studio/shop in Athens, right after moving back from Copenhagen where I lived for 4 years.

The idea was to create a studio space that would also serve as a shop that would be open to the public 3 days a week.

However after 3 months I realized that it was practically impossible for me to maintain fixed opening hours due to workload.

So today I use this space mostly as a studio where I create my ceramics and prepare my online store orders.

However it is still open to the public when I'm there and you can always make an appointment if you want to come and visit. 

It is situated in one of my favourite neighbourhoods in Athens, called Exarcheia.
