Learn hand-building and potter's wheel techniques with a local craftsman, then take your own creations home.
In the same spirit as our Moroccan cooking class, this pottery workshop is run by a local craftsman who has worked with clay for years. Small groups, real tools, and an authentic introduction to one of Morocco's oldest crafts.
You'll start with the basics — drying, firing, hand-building — before trying the potter's wheel yourself. No two pieces come out the same, and that's exactly the point.

Sip Moroccan tea, then take your carefully wrapped creations home to dry.
No experience is needed. Our craftsman guides you step by step, from hand-building to the potter's wheel.
The workshop lasts about 2 hours, including a short break for Moroccan tea.
Your pieces need to dry before painting, so they aren't ready the same day. We wrap them carefully, and can arrange firing if you're staying in Marrakech for at least a week.
