Ready to discover your hidden talent? Here are seven art classes in Dubai worth booking.
1) Craft a candle at Studio Kinza
You’ll leave with: A scented soy candle
If your idea of creativity comes with cosy vibes, this one’s for you. At Studio Kinza in Al Quoz, you’ll blend fragrances, melt soy wax and pour your own custom candle from scratch.
An expert guides you through scent pairing and wick setting, and you’ll walk away with a personalised candle the same day. Private sessions and group bookings are available, or you can join a public class.
From Dhs275 per person. Open daily 8am–9pm. Al Quoz.
2) Hand-paint ceramics at The Workshop Dubai
You’ll leave with: A ceramic plate
Channel centuries-old tradition at The Workshop Dubai in Jumeirah, where you’ll learn Palestinian Khalili painting techniques passed down for over 400 years.
Everything is provided — from brushes and colours to a ceramic plate and display stand. It’s detailed, mindful and perfect for beginners who love pattern work.
Dhs315. Timings vary. Open daily 8am–8pm. Jumeirah.
3) Get messy at Wild Paint House
You’ll leave with: A splatter-style canvas
No rules. No pressure. Just paint. Wild Paint House in Al Quoz is all about expressive, high-energy creativity. Think splatters, spins, swings and even UV neon sessions under black light.
Book solo or gather your friends for a group session — just don’t wear your favourite outfit.
From Dhs160. Open daily 10am–10pm. Al Quoz.
4) Design a silver ring at Silver Soul
You’ll leave with: A handmade silver ring
Want something wearable? Silver Soul’s beginner jewellery workshops let you create a sterling silver ring from scratch.
You’ll choose your design, shape and size before learning basic metalworking techniques — and you can even add a custom engraving.
Dhs430. Timings vary. Al Quoz.
5) Sip, snack and paint at thejamjar
You’ll leave with: A finished canvas painting
Located in Alserkal Avenue, thejamjar hosts relaxed painting sessions every Friday and Saturday. Bring an idea (or get inspired on the spot), grab a coffee and pastry, and let the instructor guide you through your masterpiece.
It’s social, beginner-friendly and surprisingly therapeutic.

6) Try wheel throwing at The Mud House Studio
You’ll leave with: Your first pottery piece
Pottery has never been more satisfying. At The Mud House Studio, beginners learn wheel throwing basics — wedging, trimming and shaping clay on the spinning wheel.
Your piece gets kiln-fired, and you’ll return two weeks later to glaze and paint it. It’s a two-part creative journey.
From Dhs210. Wed–Sun 10am–8pm, Tue 2pm–8pm. Al Quoz.
7) Learn to sew at ThreadWerk
You’ll leave with: A tote bag, pillowcase and zip pouch
