Café Ceramique is much more than the usual café. Other than a good range of casual dining options, you can indulge in some art as well. All you have to do it to pick up a plain ceramic of your choice, and paint them using special paints provided by the cafe. Once you are done, you can leave them for glazing and firing which takes about a week. The final product is microwave and dish washer safe.

My daughter picked up a ceramic which cost RO 5.9. Trained staffs at the café explain the painting process in detail and make sure you are comfortable. There are no extra charges for the paints. Before painting, we tucked into some nuggets and fries. To paint the whole piece, my daughter took nearly an hour, and I assume to paint intricate stuff on bigger ceramic, it would take not less than 2-3 hours at a stretch. Imagine spending three hours painting. There can’t be a better stress buster than this.

This is how the ceramic looked after the final painting was done. The café takes care of the ceramic processing work (glazing and firing) which takes around seven days.

This is how the finished product looked. Shedding its initial rough look, the ceramic had metamorphosed into a chic looking item. My daughter was thrilled looking at it. Mrs has been saying that we must visit the place soon and indulge in some serious painting. I am all for it because I am an art freak too. It is a fun activity.
