What to expect
Safi potters' cooperative
This workshop takes place in Safi, the Moroccan city known for its pottery trade, where you work alongside a local potters' cooperative. You learn step by step how a simple lump of clay becomes a finished Safi-style piece that you can take home.
Features
- Hands-on work at the potter's wheel is the core of the session, as you throw your own pot and feel how the clay responds under your fingers.
- Essential pottery techniques are introduced in sequence, so you practice centering, opening, and pulling the clay to shape your vessel with increasing control.
- Expert potter guidance and all clay materials are provided, and all necessary materials, tools, and refreshments are included so you can focus fully on creating.
- Guidance in Arabic, French, or English is available, keeping the standard group workshop format interactive while still allowing personalized attention in this small group size of ten.
- You decorate your piece with the traditional blue and white motifs of Safi and keep your finished piece as a souvenir.
- Traditional Moroccan tea is served during the experience, giving you a pause to watch the cooperative at work and see how your own process fits into Safi's wider pottery trade.
- At the end of the session, you take home your finished piece, created from start to finish at the potter's wheel under expert guidance.
