About this experience
Join our pottery class in Marrakech and discover the timeless art of Moroccan ceramics. This hands-on workshop guides you through the traditional techniques of molding, glazing, and firing pottery, which are deeply rooted in Moroccan culture. From shaping the clay with your own hands to decorating your pieces with intricate designs, you’ll experience the full creative process. The class concludes with you taking home your own piece of handcrafted pottery, a lasting memento of your artistic journey.

- Decorating and Glazing: After your pieces have taken shape, explore traditional Moroccan patterns and colors for decorating. Learn glazing techniques that will bring your designs to life.

What our travellers say
We had an AMAZING experience in Morocco! Mustapha was exceptional in helping us plan our two week adventure, secure the best guides in each city, ensure our lodgings, meals, and excursions were top-notch. He was kind, professional, knowledgeable and simply the best. We always felt safe and in the best care. We can’t wait to recommend Mustapha to other friends! Thank you for filling our memory bank with joy

We had Mustafa as our safe, reliable and friendly guide and driver for almost four weeks. He contributed great knowledge of both geography, history, and culture. We also learned a lot about the modern Morocco and the rapid changes and advances made in the school system and training, industry, business and agriculture. We would like to come back another time, and most preferably with Mustafa as the driver, guide and very knowledgeable and nice travel accompaniment.

We have done two trips with Mustapha in Morocco and both were incredible. He both guided us to amazing experiences and was also very responsive to our desires and needs. Whenever we had a challenge (which was rare), he helped us solve it. He now feels like part of the family. I could not recommend partnering with Mustapha more for your next trip to Morocco.

Great experience with family and for my birthday. Beautiful discovery of a piece of desert of Merzouga and its camp in the middle of the dunes.

What a phenomenal experience. Mustapha was the consummate host. Entertaining, funny and ever present. He is both proud and knowledgeable about his native and beautiful country. The tours are all inclusive of meals, hotels and entrance fees to the various attractions en route. All were faultless as was his skilful driving on the rough off road terrain. I cannot recommend Mustapha and his tours highly enough. I would definitely book him again.
