Walk-in DIY painting at thejamjar, Dubai's original community arts space, founded in 2005 in Alserkal Avenue. Pick a canvas, grab the acrylics, and create — aprons, brushes, and guidance are all included, making this a favourite creative outing for families, couples, and solo painters alike. Saturday, Sunday, and Thursday sessions run up to 120 minutes with no experience needed, and the finished canvas goes home with the painter the same day.
This session runs 120 minutes. Classes cover a range of media: drawing, painting, clay, mixed media, and increasingly digital art. Toddler classes (ages 2–5) focus on sensory exploration — the process matters more than the finished product. Older children work with structured techniques while developing their personal creative style. Many studios hold regular exhibitions of student work, which builds pride and motivation. Contact thejamjar directly to ask about trial availability.
Parent tip
Resist the urge to judge your child's art by how realistic it looks. In quality art education, experimentation and creative risk-taking are more valuable than technical precision at young ages. Ask them about their work rather than telling them what it looks like.
