What to expect

Traditional Moroccan plaster-carving workshop in Marrakech

This hands-on traditional Moroccan plaster-carving workshop in Marrakech introduces you to plaster carving, or Gebs, the craft seen in many of the city’s riads, palaces, and historic buildings. Over roughly two hours, you move from observing traditional techniques to creating your own geometric or floral design in plaster.

Features

• Discover Moroccan plaster carving (Gebs) as your local Moroccan artisan provides guidance and demonstration, showing how the same techniques shape Marrakech’s riads, palaces, and historic buildings. You receive an introduction to Moroccan plasterwork heritage and its use in traditional architecture before starting your own design.
• Get fully involved in a hands-on plaster-carving workshop in Marrakech, using all workshop materials and tools provided to carve into a prepared plaster piece. No previous carving experience is required, so the session is suitable for beginners who are curious about this traditional Moroccan craft.
• Enjoy lunch included during a break in the workshop, with a Moroccan lunch giving you time to rest and talk about the techniques you are learning. Drinks with lunch are not included, so you can decide on any refreshments separately.
• Benefit from round-trip transfers that are included within the standard service area, covering pickup and drop-off in Marrakech so you can focus on the activity itself. At the end of the session, you keep your plaster-carving artwork, taking your handmade plaster-carving creation home as a personal souvenir of your Marrakech experience.
