Inside a 1930s heritage house in Jabal Al-Lweibdeh, Gilgamesh turns making things into a proper experience. Its hands-on workshops cover everything from pottery and glass painting to stained glass, Raku, Kurinuki and Kintsugi, with beginners welcome and finished pieces to take home.

If “I’ve always wanted to learn how to draw” has been sitting on your to-do list since approximately forever, The Art Hub might be your sign. The art school offers structured courses across different mediums, alongside workshops in wheel throwing, hand-building, pottery painting, canvas painting and more.

This is your excuse to paint pottery without having to take yourself too seriously. At Reeminikin, you choose a ceramic piece, paint it at your own pace and leave the glazing and firing to them…while the café handles the refreshments and you handle the creative decisions.
