Marrakesh Pottery Hand-Building Workshop in Al Haouz

Shape clay by hand in a standard group workshop session during a two-hour guided pottery modelling workshop in the Al Haouz countryside.

Getting started

On arrival at the working pottery workshop in Al Haouz, you join your Standard Group Workshop Session and meet the potter who will guide you. After a brief introduction to the space, you are shown to your workstation and given your clay, tools, and equipment. The session begins with a short demonstration so you can see the basic gestures before you start.

What to expect

Pottery modelling workshop in the Al Haouz countryside

You spend around two hours in a working pottery workshop set in the Al Haouz countryside. The focus is on hand-building, so you shape clay by hand rather than on the wheel, using techniques that anyone can start with.

Features

• During this guided pottery modelling workshop, the potter first demonstrates the key gestures and movements, then you work on your own pieces while receiving guidance whenever you need it and progressing at your own pace.
• Clay, tools, and equipment are all provided, so you can focus entirely on modelling and refining your forms without bringing any materials or gear from home.
• Throughout the Standard Group Workshop Session, you can pause for sips of water and mint tea, giving you a moment to look at your work from a distance and decide on your next steps.
• At the end of the session, you have time for souvenir photos, capturing both your finished pieces and the experience of working with clay in this countryside studio.
