Step into the intricate world of zellige, Morocco’s centuries-old mosaic tile tradition, during this hands-on two-hour workshop. Guided by a skilled artisan, you’ll learn about the history and symbolism behind this precise geometric art form before trying your hand at shaping and assembling individual tiles into a traditional pattern.
Working with pre-cut clay tiles in vibrant colors, you’ll discover the patience and craftsmanship required to create these detailed designs—an art that has adorned palaces, fountains, and riads for generations. By the end of the session, you’ll leave not only with a deeper appreciation for Moroccan architecture and design, but also with a small piece of your own mosaic creation to remember the experience.
*There will be multiple start times available for this workshop.
