Gilgamesh for Creative Arts is an art café and ceramic studio in a 1930s heritage house in Jabal Al-Lweibdeh — one of the oldest houses in the neighbourhood. The stone doorway beside this is the one you walk through.
Our art journey began with a simple goal: to create an immersive experience for our community. Since our inception in 2019 we have become a hub for local artists and creatives, with inspiring and collaborative workshops. From team building to pottery classes, glass painting and stained glass, we offer a wide range of creative opportunities. We are passionate about bringing people together through art, and about keeping a historic house alive by filling it with people making things.
We have grown to become a beloved destination for art enthusiasts of all ages, seeking to spend quality time exploring and creating art in our space.
Discover the creative side of Amman at Gilgamesh Art Cafe. Pottery, Glass Painting, Stained Glass, Kurinuki, Raku, Kintsugi, food events, movie night and Gold leaf gilding.
It isn’t just art. It’s a community. We offer a variety of activities and workshops to inspire your imagination, showcase your creativity, and develop your skills while ensuring that you have the best experience with us and your fellow local creatives here at Gilgamesh Art Cafe. Many of our participants return again and again to further pursue their creative passions and nurture new friendships.

“We spent a great moment doing stained glass, had a great meal. Spent 7h instead of 2h. Highly recommend it.”
“Carving clay by hand in the Kurinuki technique felt like meditation — slow, mindful, and deeply calming. The studio’s warm and inspiring atmosphere made it a truly grounding experience.”
“Super fun spot!!! We did clay pottery and made mugs. Laith accompanied us and helped us and was super helpful. He also got us snacks and served us tea. 10/10 experience.”
