If you would rather decorate than build, this is the session for you. Choose a ready-made bisque piece — a mug, dish, vase or figurine — and turn it into something of your own with ceramic paints. We fire it afterwards so it is usable, not just decorative.
The quickest way into ceramics
Pottery painting takes about an hour and needs no previous experience at all. It is the session people choose when they want something relaxing and low-pressure, or when they are bringing a group with mixed confidence levels.
Colour behaves differently in a kiln
One thing that surprises people: ceramic paints change in the firing. What looks chalky and pale going in can come out deep and glossy. We will show you how each colour will behave so you can plan your design rather than be surprised by it.

Questions
Can we come as a couple and paint one piece together?
Yes. A couple can paint one shared piece, such as a plate or a vase, or each paint your own. It is one of our most popular date-night workshops. See our couples workshops page.
Do I need to be good at painting?
No. We will show you techniques like sponging, masking and layering that produce good results without any drawing skill.
When can I collect my piece?
Pieces need firing after painting, so you collect yours later — usually about seven days. If you are short on time, tell us. We will fire and glaze your piece in two to three days at no extra charge; visitors with only a few days in Jordan regularly collect finished work before they fly home.
Can I eat and drink from it?
Yes. We use food-safe glazes and fire the piece properly so it can be used every day.
Is this good for a group or birthday?
Very. It is short, easy and everyone leaves with something, which makes it our most popular choice for celebrations.
How much does pottery painting cost?
25 JOD per person, including a ready-made bisque piece of your choice, all paints, brushes and tools, the firing, and snacks with coffee and tea.
Is pottery painting suitable for children?
Yes. It suits children of all ages, as long as an adult comes with them.
Is the workshop taught in English?
Yes. We teach in English or Arabic.
How do I book, and when can I come?
We are open daily from 2 PM to 2 AM, and the last session starts at 1 AM. Earlier times are possible if you book at least 12 hours ahead. Book online or on WhatsApp (+962 79 809 8773).
