Pullman Maldives Maamutaa recently hosted the highly anticipated Art Week 2024, a celebration of creativity and community made possible through a dynamic partnership with Clay Studio Maldives. The month-long studio residency culminated during Art Week, offering an inspiring series of workshops and interactive sessions that brought art to life for guests and heartists alike.
The Clay Studio, nestled in the serene and lush Migili Room, served as a tranquil haven for artistic exploration. Surrounded by the island’s tropical greenery, the studio became the heart of creativity, offering diverse hands-on experiences, including hand-building, wheel-throwing, and ornament painting classes.
Guests and Heartists (Heartists are Pullman’s talented team members) immersed themselves in the tactile world of clay, crafting unique pieces and creating memories to cherish for a lifetime. The Clay Studio’s warm and inclusive atmosphere allowed participants of all skill levels to discover the joy of working with clay under the guidance of expert artists from Clay Studio Maldives.
Speaking about the collaboration, Riaan Drever, General Manager, said “Art Week 2024 has been an extraordinary success. Our partnership with The Clay Studio Maldives brought a unique blend of creativity, relaxation, and personal expression to Pullman Maldives Maamutaa. It was heartwarming to see our guests and Heartists connect through art and take home not just souvenirs but meaningful experiences.”
“We are delighted to have had the opportunity to offer our pottery program during Art Week 2024 at Pullman Maldives Maamutaa. Collaborating with the Pullman team to enhance the guest experience was an absolute pleasure, and we truly enjoyed sharing the joy of pottery with guests and Heartists in such a dynamic and inspiring environment.” – said Ahmed Muaz, Co-Founder of The Clay Studio Maldives.
The event exemplified Pullman’s commitment to fostering creative and immersive guest experiences, seamlessly blending the artistic journey with the island’s natural beauty. This initiative reflects Pullman’s passion for art and cultural enrichment as part of its global identity and its commitment to local creativity and talent.
