Premium: Paint-Your-Own Artisanal Ceramic Art


What makes this paint-your-own ceramics so special is that even before you start to paint, your piece is already a unique work of art, hand shaped in organic and sculptural lines, from the very clay of Israel’s holy ground. But it’s not complete until you choose your palette, pick up your paint brush, and add your own sense of style and color to make it an authentic work of art for you to enjoy and use in your everyday life. Knowing that you have a piece of the physical land of Israel in your home, along with the spiritual sparks embedded within it makes it truly extraordinary.

Our selection includes Judaica, tableware, and giftware in a range of prices starting at ₪85 for a small Hamsa or dish to ₪600 for a 7-piece seder plate set, with the majority of pieces in the ₪200-₪300 range.

All materials and firing included ₪36 studio fee per person + the price of the piece(s) you paint. For individuals, and groups of up to 25 people Ages 3 and up


Tour of Historic Courtyard and Ceramic Art Studio



This quaint garden courtyard in charming Nachlaot has a fascinating history. Participants are given a lump of clay hewn from the Land Of Israel with which to play and keep, while artist/owner Chaya Esther Ort regales them with the fascinating history of the studio's garden courtyard, once home to several families, who made aliyah to Jerusalem from Tunisia before the establishment of the State of Israel.

The courtyard served as a stable for their goats and sheep, whose fleece was shorn in one house and was spun into wool in what is now Kiyor Studio.

Tour the studio and see how Chaya Esther designs and creates her one-of-kind ceramic art, after which you can shop the gallery for unique Judaica, jewelry, and giftware that is inspired by the incredible beauty of the Land of Israel, and made from its very earth.
