What to expect

Agafay desert cooperative pottery workshop

This hands-on pottery workshop takes place at a local cooperative in the Agafay desert, where artisans share their traditional techniques. The session is designed as a short activity, so it fits easily into a wider desert outing without taking up your whole day.

Features

• During the pottery workshop, you learn traditional techniques taught by local artisans in the Agafay desert, observing how they shape and finish pieces before trying the methods yourself.
• All materials are provided for you, including the clay and basic tools you need to create your own small piece without bringing any equipment.
• Mint tea and water are included during the session, so you can pause, sip, and stay refreshed while you focus on your clay work.
• Souvenir photos are taken as you work, giving you images of your time at the cooperative and of the piece you create, while your participation helps support a local cooperative.
