The Good Stuff
Expression Room
The Expression Room lets children paint on walls and floors without the usual restrictions, making it a memorable activity.
Resin beginners
Resin workshops suit first-timers, with staff guiding participants through each step rather than assuming prior experience.
Supportive staff
Reviews repeatedly describe the staff as approachable, friendly and helpful during children’s activities and workshops.
Creative classes
Children’s classes have helped participants learn different techniques, while adults can also join art sessions and workshops.
On-site parking
One birthday-party review found parking directly in front of the studio, with cafés, food outlets and Spinneys nearby.
Take-home art
Children can leave with the artwork they made during party activities, giving the session a tangible finish.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check access. Contact the studio before visiting to confirm it is not reserved; one visitor found the closure missing from the website and Instagram.
Ask canvas rules. If sharing small canvases matters, confirm the splitting policy before paying, as one group reported inconsistent treatment.
Use front parking. For easier arrival, look for parking directly in front of the studio rather than going underground.
Allow time. Plan roughly two to three hours if you want a fuller visit rather than expecting a quick activity.
Check supplies. If colour choice or brush condition matters, ask what is currently available before starting your painting session.

The Bottom Line
Medaf Studio is a community art space in Mirdif for children, adults, families and groups. You can paint a canvas, join a resin workshop or book a children’s birthday party. The party format has included painting on concrete followed by the Expression Room, where children can paint on walls and floors, then take their creations home.
The studio’s main strength is its welcoming, hands-on atmosphere. Reviews describe staff as friendly and supportive, including during resin workshops for complete beginners. Children’s classes have taught different techniques, and several families say their children regularly enjoy returning.
A café is also mentioned as a comfortable place to have a latte while painting or taking a break. There are a few practical checks worth making first. Confirm availability before setting out: one visitor arrived to find the studio reserved, with no notice on the website or Instagram.
Ask about current canvas-sharing rules, colours and brush cleanliness, since reviews mention inconsistent splitting rules, limited colours and unclean brushes. For parties, parking directly in front is reportedly easier than underground parking. One customer reported a starting price of 70dhs per canvas, but treat that as an older customer-reported price rather than a current rate.
