Pick from curated decal sheets or bring your own approved artwork. We’ll guide you on sizing, placement, and visual balance.

Apply and Smooth

Learn the water-slide process: soak, slide, position, then remove air bubbles and excess moisture for a clean, crisp finish.

Fire and Reveal

Your piece is kiln-fired to fuse the decal into the surface, creating a durable, studio-quality result with a refined sheen.

Why Decal Workshops?

Our Decal Workshop is designed for anyone who wants to create a personalized ceramic piece without needing advanced art skills. You choose a ceramic item, select the decal designs you like, and apply them with step-by-step guidance from our team.

The process is simple, relaxing, and beginner-friendly. You can mix patterns, images, and small design details to make your piece feel more personal. It is similar to creating a collage, but on ceramics.

At Limba Studio in Dubai, the Decal Workshop gives you a hands-on way to decorate ceramics in a calm studio setting. Once your design is finished, our team prepares the piece for firing so it can become a lasting ceramic item you can keep or gift.
