Fancy doing the art yourself? Sketch art café in Mattar Bin Lahej Gallery in Al Wasl, Jumeirah, is part studio, part coffee shop where you can just get creative while you sip on a cuppa or rent a space to work.

There is a chance that your coffee cups with the best designs will be picked out to display. This is the perfect spot to build your existing artistic talents, those new to the craft may discover a skill they never knew they had.

At Sketch Studio, you can try your artistic skills at drawing, painting, sculpting, mosaics and even printmaking. You have to pay by the hour to use the studio, with prices starting from Dhs70 depending on what activity you’ll be doing. Guests are welcome to bring your own materials, or for a little extra they can pay for the materials at the studio.

While you catch up over a refreshing beverage, you can illustrate paper coffee cups At the end of the day, 10 to 20 of the most wow-worthy cups will then be selected and put on display on the striking Coffee Cup Wall of Fame. That’s not all, one cup will then be selected each month which will be printed and used in the cafe with the artist gaining some much-needed recognition on the Sketch Café’s social media platforms.
