Can children join a pottery session?

Yes, from age 7-8 for the Hand-Building Workshop and from age 8 for the Wheel-Throwing Workshop. Children pay the adult price, and under-18s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for the whole session.

How much does a session cost?

The Hand-Building and Wheel-Throwing Workshops are 220 AED per person for about 90 minutes, and children pay the adult price. An optional coloured-glaze paint session is 70 AED.

Can we hold a child's birthday party there?

Yes, as a private 90-minute session: 220 AED per person for up to 8 guests, or 200 AED per person for 9 or more. Wheel-throwing takes up to 7 guests and hand-building up to 24. It is not a drop-off party: every guest under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, and the class ages (7-8+ hand-building, 8+ wheel) apply. Decoration packages start at 500 AED and food at 50 AED per person.

When can we take our pieces home?

Pieces are ready to collect in 3 to 4 weeks, after kiln firing.

Maison Terraē is a ceramic and pottery studio in Goshi Warehouse City, Al Quoz 3, with its own café corner. Its two core sessions are a Hand-Building Workshop and a Wheel-Throwing Workshop, each a 90-minute guided class with a professional ceramicist, open to complete beginners, at 220 AED per person. Clay, tools, transparent glaze, kiln firing and a café drink are included. Both classes are for adults and children: hand-building from age 7-8 and wheel-throwing from age 8, with children paying the same price as adults. Under-18s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for the whole session, so this is a make-something-together outing rather than a drop-off kids' class. The studio also hosts private birthday sessions, for up to 7 guests on the wheel or up to 24 for hand-building, with the same accompaniment rule for under-18s. It is rated 5.0 on Google from 174 reviews.

The activity

Pottery, explained

Pottery lets kids shape clay with their hands, either by hand-building or on a spinning potter's wheel. Hand-building uses techniques such as pinching, coiling and slab shaping, so a child can sculpt almost any shape they imagine, and it is often the gentler way in for first-time potters. Wheel-throwing means centring the clay and pulling it up into bowls, cups and vases; it takes more strength and coordination, so it usually suits slightly older children. Both build patience, fine motor control and focus. Pieces are fired in a kiln after the session, so there is a wait of a few weeks before you take them home.

Who it's for

Adults and children with no pottery experience; sessions are pitched at complete beginners. The Hand-Building Workshop is for ages 7-8 and up, and the Wheel-Throwing Workshop for ages 8 and up, so it suits school-age children rather than toddlers or preschoolers. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at all times, and children pay the same price as adults.

What to expect

Each session lasts about 90 minutes and is led by a professional ceramicist, who guides you step by step from centring the clay to shaping your piece. All materials are provided, plus a transparent glaze, kiln firing and a complimentary drink from the café corner. Your child works alongside you, as under-18s must be accompanied throughout. Pieces are ready to collect in 3 to 4 weeks. An optional paint session to add coloured glaze costs 70 AED. There is no free trial: all sales are final, but bookings can be rescheduled free of charge within 12 months. Book in advance, especially for weekends.
