The centre functions as a multidisciplinary craft and education hub, focusing on hands-on training in pottery, calligraphy, drypoint printing, and archaeological studies. Its programme supports Abu Dhabi’s cultural strategy by preserving traditional artisanal practices while fostering creative skill-building across diverse audiences.
