Yes, go book it! - Lovely program, venue, and people. This art form is unique and I highly recommend it! I was worried about not being able to make it due to my tour group activities running late — but Mohammed was accommodating and very kind to help me find my way after the workshop. He gives good instructions/demo and his music playlist was enjoyable! You get beautiful souvenirs to remember your Morocco trip!

Top 5 things from my Morocco trip - This was so unexpected. The evening started with some tea to greet us, a conversation about the key art disciplines of Morocco, and then progressed to an incredible demonstration of what we were about to try our hand at. Don't worry, you don't have to be good, you just have to be curious and willing to try something out to see how you like it. You will leave with something gorgeous and if you're like me, the gentle demeanors of the very skilled craftsmen teaching you will stick with you all the way back to your home country. 10/10

Great learning experience with fantastic take homes at the end! - This was a wonderful class from someone who truly has as passion for the art. The rial is covered in his work and he took the time to explain the history and themes before we started the actual work. We learned the fundamentals and created a basic piece. We also chose a more complex version that he and a friend were able to complete while we worked so he was nearby but not hovering. Very appreciated! I would absolutely do this course again and will bring my family if we are in Fes in the future.

This Plaster Carving Class was a Highlight of our Trip! - Discover the art of plaster carving with Mohamed! Inspired by Morocco’s stunning carvings, we dove into this hands-on class after a warm cup of mint tea. Mohamed shared the tools, techniques, and history behind the craft before guiding us through our own designs. After observing a demonstration of the process, we each picked up a chisel and hammer and started creating our own plaster artwork. We left not only with our own creations but also beautifully carved pieces by the master himself. The experience exceeded our expectations and was a highlight of our trip to Morocco —plus, Mohamed takes custom orders! He recreated a piece I fell in love with and did it by the time we finished dinner.

Amazing artisans - art for all ages and skill levels - Amazing class by very skillful artisans! Learning about culture and art of Morocco by physically engaging with it is the best way. We ended up taking home marvelous carvings made by the artists during the class (we had a chance to pre-choose the designs we liked) as well as our own creations. They are very hospitable and patient to their students - highly recommend for all ages and skill levels!

Artistic Escape at Mohammed's: Sculpting, Serenity, and Surprises Await - We delved into the ancient craft of sculpting at Mohammed's, where we observed pros at work and honed our own skills on practice pieces. It felt less like a workshop and more like a casual hangout among friends, surrounded by captivating visuals – from intricate tiles to scenic views and whimsical doodles left by past visitors. As we immersed ourselves in our creations, even the kids were engrossed for hours. With the freedom to take breaks and explore the eclectic house, we felt both inspired and proud of our finished pieces, all while marveling at the expertise of the artisans.

So much fun learning to sculpt plaster - Mohamed is a true artist and an awesome person. What a wonderful experience learning such a beautiful part of Moroccan culture. First he makes you feel very welcome in his home before showing you how to sculpt the plaster. Once you get started it quickly becomes very meditative as you sculpt out the initial design template, but them add your own touch. I was nervous before I arrived as I have never sculpted plaster, but by the end of the experience I was surprised how quickly I got comfortable doing it. It was so much fun and you even get to take home a beautiful piece of plater sculpture that Mohamed creates for you based on the design you choose. One of the best experiences I have done and glad I found it on TripAdvisor.
