A hands-on experience …

… and instruction in the atelier of a Moroccan artisan

Spend an afternoon, 3 days … or 3 weeks! … in the workshop of one of Tetouan’s artisans, learning their trade and art, while developing your own skills and finding new inspiration. Let your hands and imagination go to work in old-world Morocco and take home much more than the fruit of your hands!

In keeping with our vision to foster economic growth through the arts and artisan community, we pay these artisans for their time as hosts and mentors because they generously share their skills and time with our clients.

Maximum Participants: 1 guest per artisan

Notice: We need a couple of weeks to set this up for you so let us know as soon as you can. Thanks!
