Traditional Mabkhara Painting & Decoration Workshop
Description
Celebrate Emirati heritage through a hands-on creative experience inspired by tradition and craftsmanship. In this workshop, participants will decorate and paint their own traditional mabkhara (incense burner), reimagining this iconic cultural object through contemporary artistic expression.
Guided step by step, you will explore colour, pattern, and ornamentation while learning about the mabkhara’s role in Emirati homes and gatherings. The session combines cultural insight with creative experimentation, offering both reflection and artistic exploration.
Each participant will complete and take home a personalised mabkhara — a meaningful piece that blends heritage, identity, and creativity.
