Moroccan Workshop – Fes

The Moroccan Workshop Fes location specializes in pottery and ceramics, one of the most celebrated craft traditions of the imperial city. Participants are welcomed into a large, functioning Moroccan pottery school where they witness the entire ceramic production process firsthand, from raw clay preparation to throwing, shaping, drying, glazing, and firing. The hands-on sessions are led by experienced professional potters who guide participants through the practical techniques used by Moroccan artisans for hundreds of years. Each participant gets to decorate their own chosen item, be it a tajine, a serving dish, or a decorative mug, using authentic designs inspired by Islamic geometry and traditional Fassi floral motifs. While the paint dries, guests enjoy tea with the artisans and learn about their craft stories, tools, and the cultural significance of Fes pottery. The workshop is offered at varying skill levels, from absolute beginners to those with prior craft experience, and the small-group format ensures individualized coaching. The Fes workshop is part of the broader Moroccan Workshop network, which covers cities including Marrakech, Rabat, and Essaouira. All workshops can be booked online through the Moroccan Workshop website and are suitable for solo travelers, families, and organized groups alike.
