Dubai Design Week's dedicated workshops programme, hosted in a pop-up Maker Space in Dubai Design District (d3), facilitates the process of pursuing, practising and polishing a range of skills.

The programme offers visitors of all ages and skill levels the opportunity to engage with various professionals, providing a platform to experiment with artistic mediums ranging from traditional techniques to advanced digital tools.
Design collectives, independent makers, regional and international universities, small businesses and cultural institutions participate in the programme to share their expertise and facilitate workshops.

All workshops emphasise sustainability by utilising or creating eco-friendly materials, ensuring that sustainable practices are central to the learning experience.

Applications for the Workshops Open Call close on 15 August, 2026.
