Zellige Geometric Workshop: The Art of Clay

No prior experience is needed! This workshop is beginner-friendly and designed for all skill levels. Our expert artisan will guide you through each step, from understanding the geometric patterns to cutting and assembling your tiles.

You will create and take home your own small mosaic plaque (approximately 20×20 cm) that you design and assemble during the 3-hour session. This serves as a unique souvenir of your Moroccan experience.

Yes! The workshop is suitable for children aged 8 and above. It’s particularly popular with art students and families interested in mathematics and architecture. Younger children should be accompanied by an adult.

Zellige is a 1,000-year-old Moroccan art form that combines mathematics, spirituality, and craftsmanship. Each tile is hand-cut and hand-glazed, and the geometric patterns reflect Islamic design principles. You’ll learn the same techniques used in the Alhambra and Bahia Palace.

Yes! All specialized tools, ceramic tiles, adhesives, and safety equipment are included in the price. You only need to bring your creativity and enthusiasm.

The workshop focuses on creating a small plaque within the 3-hour timeframe. However, if you’re interested in larger projects or custom Zellige work for your home, our artisan can provide information on ordering and shipping options (shipping costs are not included in the workshop price).

Lunch is not included in the workshop price. However, traditional mint tea is served during the session. We’re happy to recommend nearby restaurants where you can enjoy a traditional Moroccan meal after the workshop.

Wear comfortable clothing as you’ll be working with tiles and tools. Closed-toe shoes are recommended for safety. The workshop takes place indoors in a traditional artisan studio.

Yes! We offer private sessions for groups of up to 10 people. This is ideal for architecture students, art groups, or families who want a more intimate learning experience. Please contact us for private group rates and scheduling.

The difficulty level is easy to moderate. The main activities involve cutting tiles with a hammer (which requires some hand strength) and assembling pieces. It’s suitable for most fitness levels and is primarily a cerebral and creative experience.

Yes! Since this is an indoor activity, it’s available throughout the year regardless of weather conditions. It’s a perfect activity for any season when visiting Fes or Marrakech.
