A CREATIVE DUO AT HILTON THE PEARL

​

Paula and Reema Abu Hassan, the founder of Clay Encounters collaborate to create joint collections that are showcased at Hilton the Pearl retail space.


 

As collaborators, Reema and Paula share ideas about functional objects, home rituals, and visual language. Their hand-crafted collection features a range of traditional and experimental practices combining quilting, block printing, silk screening, and natural dyeing for the textile pieces, in addition to wheel throwing, hand building, slip casting and glazing for the ceramics. A selection of high-quality art prints made from Paula’s paintings and illustrations completes the collection.

 

The shop is at the Lobby Café at the Hilton The Pearl located at Abraj Quartier Pearl Boulevard Tower AQ-07. It is open from 7 am to 11 pm every day. 

 

Reema and Paula’s art journey, a bit like life itself, is always shifting and evolving.
