Overview

What makes our activity unique:

Soul of Fes offers more than just a workshop — it’s a full cultural and creative experience. What sets us apart is the chance to work directly with real Moroccan artisans in an authentic atelier, not a tourist shop. You’ll shape clay, paint ceramics, and create mosaic art using traditional tools and techniques passed down through generations.

Unlike other activities, here you’re the artist — free to design your own tagine, cup, or mosaic tile. Every piece you make is yours to keep, and every moment connects you to the soul of Moroccan craftsmanship.

We also include a free behind-the-scenes tour of our working atelier and showroom, giving you a deeper understanding of the process and the passion behind the art.

What's included

  • Matériaux pour l’atelier de poterie et mosaïque
  • Visite guidée de l’atelier traditionnel
  • Guide professionnel / Artisan expérimenté
  • We are happy to provide transport for bookings of two or more guests. For solo guests, transport is not included, but you are warmly welcome to join the experience.
  • Coffee and/or Tea
  • Votre propre création en souvenir ( Répartirez avec la pièce que vous avez fabriquée vous-même )

- 2 painted ceramic pieces: Choose any shape and hand-paint with traditional Moroccan patterns.

- 1 mosaic square: Learn the zellige technique and create your own colorful mosaic tile.

️ You'll work with real artisan tools, using authentic methods passed down through generations.
