What to expect

Ighoud pottery workshop

Join a Standard Group Pottery Workshop Session in Ighoud and sit at the wheel for an hour of focused making time. The experience is designed for beginners and those with some experience, in a group workshop of up to 10 guests using the traditional Safi method.

Features

• An hour at the wheel in the traditional Safi method gives you time to shape and refine a single piece, with the local potter demonstrating each stage so you can follow along in real time.
• Step-by-step guidance from the local potter means you are supported from centering the clay to forming the final shape, which makes the workshop accessible even if it is your first time.
• Clay, tools, and aprons are provided for the session, so you can focus fully on learning the Safi technique without bringing any materials or equipment.
• Mint tea and photos are included during the workshop, giving you a short pause between steps while someone captures images of you working at the wheel.
• A finished piece to take home is the outcome of your one-hour pottery workshop with a local potter, so you leave Ighoud with a physical reminder of your time at the wheel.
• The group workshop, with up to 10 guests, is easy to combine with a visit to the nearby Jebel Irhoud site, so you can plan a wider day around this hands-on session.
