Overall rating

(1 reviews)

It was a truly fruitful and meaningful experience for me in Fes. I highly recommend taking the time to attend this workshop during your stay! Mohammed began with an introduction to the art of plaster carving in Morocco and showed me various patterns to choose from for my souvenir. He then demonstrated how to carve a star-shaped geometric pattern step by step. I needed a bit more time to finish my piece, but Mohammed was incredibly accommodating, even sharing additional techniques to enhance my work. His encouragement and passion for Moroccan plaster carving were greatly appreciated. At the end of the workshop, Mohammed kindly wrapped the beautiful souvenir he carved for me, along with my finished piece, and walked me back to the main street. That was very thoughtful of him. Additionally, the workshop took place in a charming house adorned with Moroccan art, creating a cozy and relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended!

highly recommend! It was a lot of fun and Mohammed was a great teacher who answered all our questions. It truly gave us a better appreciation of the work that goes into all the plaster you see around the city.

Great time spent with Mohammed! His art is spectacular. Thank you for this relaxing and precise activity
