Description

Pinching Technique Pottery Workshop

Beginner-friendly – same process, different finishing options!

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll explore the pinching technique — one of the oldest and most intuitive ways to shape clay using just your fingers. Perfect for making small bowls, cups, or organic forms, this method connects you directly to the clay. The process is the same for both clay types — only the finishing differs.

 

Air-Dry Clay

 

  • No kiln needed – take your piece home the same day!
  • Great for decorative items like small bowls or trinket dishes
  • We’ll pack your creation and send it with a free acrylic paint set so you can paint it at home
  • A lovely option for a quick, creative experience
  • Perfect for beginners, or visitors on a tight schedule

Ceramic Clay

 

  • Fired in a kiln – strong, glossy, and food-safe.
  • Ideal if you want to use your piece for food or drink
  • Includes both bisque and glaze firings for a durable, water-safe finish
  • Leave your piece with us — we’ll notify you once it’s ready (around 3–4 weeks)
  • Best for those looking for a more lasting, functional keepsake

No matter what you choose, you’ll walk away with a handmade piece and a relaxing, rewarding experience!

90 Minutes Pottery on wheels - All Inclusive

Hey there! Don’t worry about packing anything for our workshop at Bedia Pottery Studio. Your workshop fee already covers all the supplies you’ll need. And guess what? We’ll have one of our comfy Bedia aprons ready for you to wear, so you can jump right into the fun without any fuss. Just show up, relax, and let’s get creative together! 🎨✨

Do-It-Yourself Underglazing & Free Firing

At Bedia Pottery Studio, we offer Free Firing & DIY Glazing as part of our workshop experience.

After your creation has dried for about 2 weeks, we’ll place it in our kiln for its initial firing, known as a bisque fire, reaching temperatures of 1000 degrees. This process typically takes around 24 hours.

Once your piece has cooled down, we’ll reach out to schedule a time for you to visit the studio and apply your chosen glazes. We have a wide array of beautiful colors available for you to use, all included in your workshop ticket price.

 

After glazing, we’ll fire your piece once again to set the glaze, making it waterproof and food-safe.

We understand that good things take time, but remember, this entire process is optional! If you prefer, you’re more than welcome to take your creation home to air dry instead. We want to ensure your pottery experience is tailored to your preferences.

FAQ

Can my 6-year-old try the pottery wheel?

No, due to safety concerns, we do not allow children of that age to use the pottery wheel. Our workshops are designed for older participants who can safely handle the equipment.

Can I take my piece home on the same day?

Unfortunately, no. It typically takes 1-2 weeks for us to dry and bisque fire your pieces. After that, you’ll need to return for the glazing session. If time constraints prevent you from attending the glazing session, we can apply a transparent glaze to your pieces to make them shiny and food-safe. Once they’re ready, you can collect them from our studio.

Do you offer discounts for Essad, Fazza, or Emirates Platinum cards?

Currently, we don’t have specific offers for Emirates Platinum Card, Essad, or Fazza members as we are a new studio. However, we’re in the process of working with banks to bring you some fantastic deals soon! Your support means a lot to us, and we can’t wait to share exciting offers with you in the near future.

Do you provide home delivery for the final artwork?

We do not offer home delivery services for the final artwork. However, you are welcome to collect your pieces from our studio once they are ready.

Can I keep my artwork at your studio for a longer period if I'm out of town?

Yes, we can accommodate that. We’ll keep your pieces here for a maximum of two months. After that, there will be an additional charge of AED 1 dirham for storage fees.

Would you accept toddlers while I'm attending the workshop?

Yes, you can bring your toddler to the studio, provided that there is someone available to take care of them during the workshop.
