The Master’s Leather Studio: Fes Tannery Secret

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting slightly dirty. Closed-toe shoes are recommended for safety. An apron will be provided to protect your clothes during the workshop.

No experience is necessary! The workshop is designed for beginners and is guided step-by-step by a master artisan. However, moderate hand-eye coordination is helpful for the best results.

You can create a custom leather item such as a wallet, belt, small bag, or sandals (babouche). The specific item will depend on the time available and your skill level, which will be discussed at the beginning of the session.

Yes, families are welcome! However, children should be at least 10 years old to safely handle the tools. The workshop is a great educational experience for history buffs and creative young travelers.

The Chouara Tannery uses traditional natural dyes and methods, which do have a distinct odor. The workshop area is nearby but separate. If you have sensitivity to strong smells, we recommend bringing a light scarf or mask.

While the workshop focuses on creating your own small item, heavy leather jackets and additional purchases are not included in the price. However, your artisan can guide you to trusted local shops if you’re interested in purchasing larger items.

No, hotel pickup is not included in the base price. The workshop is located in the Fes Medina near the Chouara Tannery. You can meet us at the workshop location, or we can arrange private pickup for an additional fee.

We offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the experience starts. Cancellations within 24 hours are subject to a 50% charge.

Absolutely! We offer private sessions for groups of up to 8 people. This is perfect for families, couples, or friends who want a more personalized experience. Please contact us for private group pricing.

Traditional mint tea and light refreshments are included, but lunch is not part of the package. We can recommend excellent local restaurants in the Medina, or you can bring your own snacks.
