Clay Chronicles: Tour and workshop

From ancient times, clay has been shaped into a vivid form of art, making pottery one of the oldest crafts that brings together simplicity and creativity.

Join us on our upcoming tour as we explore the history of pottery through a visit to the Museum of Islamic Ceramics at Al Gezira Art Center. We will stroll through its collection of 315 pieces, each reflecting the skill of artisans across different Islamic eras and the evolution of this craft into its contemporary form.

After the tour, we will head to Heritage Workspace for a hands-on experience. Participants will learn the basics of painting on pottery and paint their own pieces, creating a personal artwork.

Date and Time: Saturday, 13th December 2025, from 10 am to 4 pm.
The tour and workshop will be conducted in Arabic.
