We will arrange for a driver to meet you at the front door of your hotel or Riad. From there, you'll be driven to our workshop, where I will warmly welcome you with tea or coffee and some local homemade cookies. Once you're settled, we'll dive into our art class, where I'll guide you step by step through the process of crafting pottery and mosaic. You'll have the chance to create your own tagine and tile. At the end of the experience, our driver will take you back to your designated meeting point

What to expect

Step into the fascinating world of Moroccan Zellige, an ancient mosaic craft that has adorned palaces, fountains, and riads for centuries. In this immersive workshop, you’ll witness firsthand the precision and artistry required to shape and assemble these intricate tiles. Our master artisans will guide you through the entire process, from carefully arranging the hand-cut mosaic pieces to creating mesmerizing geometric patterns. Unlike traditional tilework, Zellige is assembled upside down—a unique and challenging technique where you'll fit each colorful piece like a puzzle before sealing it with plaster. By the end of the experience, you'll have crafted your very own mosaic tile, a beautiful keepsake that captures the essence of Fes’ artistic heritage. Whether you're an art lover or simply curious about Moroccan craftsmanship, this workshop offers a rare opportunity to connect with an age-old tradition and take home a piece of its beauty.
