What to expect

Traditional Moroccan embroidery workshop

This is a hands-on, 2-hour embroidery workshop focused on classic Moroccan techniques, taught by a working local artisan in a standard group workshop format. You spend the entire time at a single workspace, moving step by step from basic stitches to creating your own finished piece.

Features

• Learn the classic Moroccan embroidery stitches directly from a local artisan, who demonstrates each technique and guides you through practicing on your own fabric.
• Choose your own motif and colors, then stitch them yourself so your design feels personal and reflects your taste.
• All fabric, threads, and needles are provided, with access to different colors of thread and continuous guidance so you can focus on the craft rather than sourcing materials.
• Beginners are welcome in small groups of up to 10 guests, and you leave with an embroidered piece to take home that you have created during the 2-hour embroidery workshop with a local artisan.
