Most things to do in Amman are things you look at. This is one you make. Two to three hours in a heritage house in Jabal Al-Lweibdeh, and you leave with something you made with your hands — not a fridge magnet.
Why visitors come here
We are the only studio in Jordan teaching Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. We also teach Kurinuki carving and Raku firing — techniques you will not find elsewhere in the country, taught properly rather than as a novelty.
The studio is a heritage house in Jabal Al-Lweibdeh, Amman’s oldest and most walkable neighbourhood, a few minutes from Paris Circle. It is also a cafe, so you can stay afterwards. Most people do — our open-time policy means nobody moves you along.
If you are short on time: what you can take with you
Clay has to dry and be fired, so pottery cannot leave with you the same day. Glass and Raku can. If you are in Amman briefly, choose from the top half of this table.

What visitors say
“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.”

Message us before you come
Sessions are small and places go quickly. Tell us your dates and how long you have, and we will tell you honestly what fits.
Questions from visitors
Do you speak English?
Yes. Workshops run in English or Arabic — just tell us which you prefer when you book.
Can I join at short notice?
Often yes, but sessions are small so message us on WhatsApp first. We will tell you honestly what is available today or tomorrow.
I am only in Amman for a few days. Which workshop should I choose?
Raku, Stained Glass, Glass Painting, Sacred Icon or Acrylic Painting — all of those you take home the same day. Pottery needs firing, so it cannot travel with you unless you are staying a couple of weeks.
Can you open in the morning?
Yes, with a day’s notice. Our normal hours are 2pm to 2am, but if your schedule needs 9am we will open for you. Useful if you have a flight or a tour later.
Where exactly are you?
26 Al-Farazdaq Street, Jabal Al-Lweibdeh — one of Amman’s oldest and most walkable neighbourhoods, near Paris Circle. Any taxi will know “Jabal Al-Lweibdeh, Al-Farazdaq Street”.
Is it suitable if I have never made anything before?
Completely. Most of our visitors have never touched clay or glass. Nothing here assumes experience.
Can we come as a family?
Yes. Most workshops work across ages. Stained Glass is the only one restricted to 18+, because of the glass cutting and soldering.
How much does it cost?
Between 20 and 100 JOD depending on the workshop. Unlimited drinks and snacks are included in every price.
