The Mud House Studio is a working pottery studio in Al Quoz 3 that runs kids' classes alongside its adult classes, workshops and memberships. Its kids' classes are project-based hand-building sessions: guided by the studio's instructors, children learn foundational hand-building techniques while making their own ceramic pieces. Clay, tools, an apron, glaze and both firings (bisque and glaze) are included in the price. Hand-building is open from age 7 - children aged 7-8 must be accompanied by an adult, and from 9 they can join on their own. Wheel throwing is for teenagers (14+ on the kids' classes page). There's no fixed term: families buy a single class or a pack of 4, 6 or 8. The online pass shop sells adult passes only, so to book a kids' class, message the studio on WhatsApp or contact it by phone or email and ask for session times. The studio is open Tuesday 2pm-8pm and Wednesday to Sunday 10am-8pm, and closed on Mondays.

The activity

Pottery, explained

Pottery lets kids work with clay by hand or on a wheel to build cups, bowls and small sculptures. Younger children usually start with hand-building - pinching, coiling and slab work - which develops fine motor control and patience, while wheel throwing (centring clay and shaping it as it spins) needs a bit more hand strength and is typically introduced from the young-teen years. Pieces are shaped, left to dry, glazed and then kiln-fired twice, so a finished piece usually takes more than one visit to complete. It's a screen-free, sensory activity that rewards slowing down rather than getting it perfect first time.

Who it's for

Children from age 7 for hand-building: 7-8 year-olds must be accompanied by an adult, and children 9+ can attend on their own. Wheel throwing is listed as 14+ on the kids' classes page (the studio's adult classes and private lessons list it as 15+, so check with the studio for a 14-year-old). The studio also welcomes complete beginners, families and adults.

What to expect

Kids' classes are project-based hand-building sessions, where children learn foundational techniques - the studio's hand-building classes cover pinching, coiling, slab building and surface decoration - while making their own piece. Clay, tools, an apron, glaze and both bisque and glaze firing are included; extra clay, glaze or firings are charged. Ask the studio how long a kids' class runs and which sessions suit your child. Pieces have to dry and be fired twice, so they are collected on a later visit - the studio's FAQ gives about a week before a piece is ready. There's no separate trial offer, but you can start with a single class (AED 160) rather than a pack.
