The experience
Discover Pottery Experience in Fes
Immerse yourself in the artistic traditions of Fes through an interactive pottery and Moroccan mosaic workshop. Meet skilled local artisans and explore the ceramic-making process, from preparing and shaping clay to kiln firing, glazing, and decorating finished pieces.
At the pottery wheel, an experienced craftsman guides you in shaping a ceramic bowl or dish and introduces traditional hand-shaping methods. Continue with painting and decoration using Moroccan-inspired motifs, distinctive patterns, and colorful mineral pigments.
Discover Zellige, Morocco's geometric mosaic tilework, and create a decorative mosaic piece. Taking home a Zellige piece may be possible, while collection or delivery of kiln-fired pottery depends on firing time and must be confirmed with the operator.
