Morocco Jewelry Making & Metalwork 2-Day

Destinations: Marrakech, Tafraoute · Duration: 2 days · Difficulty: Easy · Group size: Up to 6

Amazigh silver jewelry is rich with meaning — protective symbols, fibula clasps and enamelled beads passed down through generations. This two-day workshop introduces you to that tradition, working alongside a master silversmith to learn the techniques behind these beautiful pieces.

You practise hammering, engraving, filigree and stone setting, learning the symbolism woven into each design, and create a silver piece of your own to take home. It is an intimate, hands-on encounter with one of Morocco’s most refined and symbolic crafts.

This 2 days journey is led by licensed local guides who grew up in Central Morocco, giving you privileged access to the imperial Red City, founded by the Almoravids in 1070, whose medina and Jemaa el-Fnaa square are UNESCO World Heritage sites alongside honest, unhurried travel. Every detail — comfortable private transport, hand-picked accommodation and authentic meals — is arranged so you can simply relax and take it in.

It is perfect for curious travellers of all ages who want a genuine, well-run experience rather than a rushed coach tour. Small groups, transparent pricing and flexible planning mean the trip flexes around you.
