Hi, I’m Eleni, i am a small business owner named Fiera which is located at Thessaloniki, Greece. At Fiera I design and make handmade jewellery, candles, projects from fabrics and i also organise art workshops and classes such as painting on a canva, etching, collages etc.
I really love my job because through her i can express my feelings , my creativity and i enjoy being surrounded by people who have the same interestes. All my projects are carefully designed and crafted to offer the client an overall experience of creativity and quality.
The jewelry is made of durable materials, the candles are made of soy wax and my goal is for them to last over time and be enjoyed by those who have them. I have already made a community which includes people who always have positive vibes and a creative vision. Thats my favoyrite part of the job.
I strongly believe in people’s connections and support and i think that my job and my ideas are unique because most of the times are personalised and offer a different experince to each client.
Artworks
This is my first etching artpiece which symbolizes the meeting of the sun and the moon. For me, the meeting of these two is a sign of balance and proof that two completely different elements such as day and night can coexist harmoniously when they are together.With this trial i started doing etching and i discover the beauty of this old technique and the happiness of trying new things.
This particular sewing project was very demanding but it is one of my favorites because it combines various techniques and methods.The corset was almost sewn completely wrong due to incorrect measurements but in the end with the previous techniques I knew and with a little research and testing it was sewn correctly! I love how this piece of clothing matches each body different and when you wear it you feel like a vintage queen!I believe that clothes is a fun way to add some joy in your everyday life! I really enjoing sewing because is a way to express my personal style and and vision.
These are some of the summer necklaces I made for the summer of 2025. They are made with semi-precious stones and steel elements and are all inspired by the colors of the Greek summer. My goal was for them to exude a sense of freedom and freshness and for whoever wears them to feel beautiful.
According to Greek Orthodox Easter, believers must hold a candle on the day of resurrection and then carry the holy light to their homes. These candles were hand-painted with special colors and I wanted to give a touch of joy to the classic traditional custom and differentiate it in my own way.
