Join a local leather craftsman at our home, Riad Artscape, and finish your own pair of Moroccan babouches: choose your colours, then turn the babouches and glue the sole by hand. Take them home the same day.
In the same spirit as our Moroccan cooking class, this babouche workshop is run by a local leather craftsman at our home, Riad Artscape. Small groups, real tools, and an authentic introduction to one of Morocco's most iconic crafts.
You'll start with the leather and the tools. The craftsman prepares the babouches in advance: you choose your colours, then turn them and glue the sole by hand. No two pairs come out the same, and that's exactly the point.
