Pottery and Ceramics Workshop

Get your hands in the clay! Our pottery workshop in Agadir teaches you to shape, throw, and decorate traditional Moroccan ceramics with a local master potter. Create your own tagine, bowl, or cup — and keep it.

At the Potter’s Wheel

After a demonstration by the maalem, sit at the wheel and learn to center and shape your clay. With the master’s hands guiding yours, you will create a real piece: a small tagine, a bowl, or a decorative plate.

Amazigh Patterns and Painting

Decorate your piece with traditional Amazigh (Berber) symbols — each pattern tells a story of protection, fertility, or the mountains. Learn what the symbols on Moroccan ceramics actually mean.

Take Your Creation Home

Your piece is fired in the traditional kiln and ready for collection within days (or we deliver to your hotel before departure). A handmade souvenir with your own fingerprints in it.
