Overview

Dive into the heart of Fes's artistic heritage with this exclusive workshop dedicated to the ceramic arts. This immersive experience invites you to step inside a traditional studio and uncover the secrets of Fassi pottery, world-renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship and intricate geometric patterns.
Under the expert guidance of Master Artisans ("Maâlems"), you will transition from spectator to creator. The journey begins with a technical introduction to the preparation of local clay and the traditional kiln firing process. Then, the hands-on experience begins: try your hand at the potter's wheel to shape your own unique piece, or test your precision by assembling Zellige tiles, the iconic Moroccan mosaic art form. Whether you focus on molding clay or painting delicate motifs, you will leave with a deep appreciation of this millennia-old craft and your own handmade souvenir. An essential experience for lovers of art, culture, and authenticity.
