Jones the Grocer Hosts an Engaging Series of Classes and Workshops this August

by Eddie Rayner

Jones the Grocer, UAE’s favourite gourmet grocer and café, is hosting a series of fun events and activities to enjoy this August. In keeping with their ‘Body & Soul’ wellness campaign Jones has teamed up with a renowned UAE potter to host pottery sessions which touch on the theme of mindfulness. There are cooking masterclasses for adults and learning workshops for kids.  Sessions kick off from just AED 100, and whilst in-store participants can savour delicious food on offer, including the fabulous ‘Summer of 66’ dinner promotion which serves a fabulous two-course dinner for AED 66. 

For those looking for something new and different to cool down and reinvigorate themselves this August, head down to Jones the Grocer for one of the below happenings.

Inner Calm with Pottery Classes

Why not try out this ‘hand-building with mindfulness’ pottery session over your favourite tea or coffee (we recommend the pistachio latte!)? The class will give you all the necessary tools to work with clay, explore surface decoration, and create something unique with expert guidance from the potter and owner of Clay Studio, Noura Ali Al Dhaheri.  Whether a beautiful jewellery plate, a small cup or a bowl, once oven-fired at Clay Studio, your creation will be available for collection at Jones the Grocer in two weeks’ time.
