About us
A family of artisans in Fes running workshops in our own studios.
Draft copy. This is not the final text.
We are a family that has worked in the Fes medina for three generations, in pottery and in leather. The workshops started because visitors kept asking whether they could try, and we kept saying yes.
Everything is taught by the person who actually does the work for a living. Nobody on our side is a guide who learned the craft in order to teach it to tourists. That is the whole difference, and it is why a session sometimes runs long.
We run two named studios alongside this site: FesPotteryArt for the clay and tile work, and FesLeatherWorkshop for the leather. Same family, same standards, different rooms.
We are not an agency and we do not resell other people's workshops. If we cannot take you on the day you want, we will say so rather than pass you to someone we do not know.
