Moroccan ceramics, from the blue-and-white of Fes to the green of Tamegroute, are among the country’s proudest crafts. This workshop hands you the clay and the wheel, guided by a master who has shaped pots since childhood.
You learn how local clay is prepared, then try the potter’s wheel yourself — centring, opening and pulling the walls of a bowl or cup, a skill that looks effortless and proves gloriously humbling. The master is beside you at every wobble.
Once your piece is shaped, you decorate and glaze it in traditional patterns, learning the meaning behind the motifs. Fired pieces can be collected later or shipped, and you leave with muddy hands and a real understanding of the craft.
Learn how clay is prepared and see the master demonstrate the wheel.
Throw and shape your own bowl or cup with guidance.
Decorate your piece with traditional patterns and arrange collection or shipping.
Pieces need firing after the class, so they are collected a day or two later or shipped to you.
It is trickier than it looks and part of the fun; the master helps you produce something you are proud of.
Aprons are provided, but wear something you do not mind getting a little clay on.
Yes, children from around eight love the wheel with supervision.
Yes, the studio can arrange careful shipping for an additional fee.
