What to expect
Traditional weaving workshop in Essaouira
During this 2-hour hands-on weaving workshop, you will learn how woven wall pieces and carpets are made using traditional techniques from Essaouira.
Features
- Learn traditional weaving methods in Essaouira as your expert weaving instructor from the cooperative explains each step at the loom, from setting up the wool to forming basic patterns for your woven wall pieces or carpets. This is a practical session where you focus on technique rather than theory.
- Take part in hands-on weaving at the loom from start to finish and create your own woven piece to take home. Your woven piece is completed within the workshop, so you leave with a personal textile you have made yourself.
- All wool and loom materials are provided for you, so there is no need to bring supplies. The standard group workshop format means that the cooperative weaver instructor and professional guide support the whole group while you work with the shared materials.
- Traditional Moroccan tea and water are included during the session, giving you a short pause from the loom when needed. As part of the inclusions, you also receive a photo souvenir and a product gift at the end of the workshop, which complement your take-home woven piece as reminders of your time at the cooperative.
