First, you'll learn the ancient techniques of molding clay, shaping it into your own unique pottery piece, such as a tagine or decorative item. Next, you’ll be guided through the intricate process of painting vibrant patterns inspired by traditional Moroccan designs. In the second part of the workshop, you’ll explore the captivating art of Zellige, learning how to craft and arrange the colorful mosaic tiles that Morocco is famous for.
