Amazing experience!!... - Amazing experience!! Fun ceramic and mosaic workshop. Highly recommended. Make sure to go at the start of you Fes trip so you can take your pieces home - they need a few days to bake :)

Lovely day with local craftsmen - The entire experience was lovely. The team and craftsmen were keen on sharing their knowledge to help us create our own works. Mourad guided us through the day and was kind enough to have his mom make us couscous for lunch. We made a zellije tile and colored our own pots, we even got to try the wheel. We had a lovely day and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Art Workshop : Solo Experience - Both the tour of the co-op as well as workshops were fascinating & enjoyable. It was very interesting to understand how a range of crafts are made - ranging from pottery to mosaics, and lent a new appreciation for the mastery behind each art. My guide Mourad was very clear & comprehensive, explaining everything patiently. It was evident that he is both passionate & knowledgeable about the field. He was also a great cheerleader, supportive & vocal with praise during the workshop process, whilst I was painting my pieces - which was very much needed on my part! I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone who is interested in both learning more about & trying their hand at, local Moroccan crafts. It is suitable for both individuals as well as in groups.

The most enjoyable experience in Fes - This unique experience with Mourad and all the artist in their cooperative was unforgettable, it’s amazing to get our hands dirty with the clay and make our own dish by ourselves which is not easy as it may seem by the way, but thanks to the Maalem (the master) who was very helpful and patient with us! All in all this is a must try in Fes with the host Mourad who was very communicative and friendly, I recommend it to everyone who want to delve into the art of pottery and ceramics in Fes

Lovely half day of relaxing crafts - We visited with Mourad as part of our trip to Fes and to do something nice on my birthday. In the lead up to the day, Mourad was very helpful with advising us on accommodation (we had made a bad choice!) and also organising transport. He gave a great (quick) tour of the cooperative factory and explained all of the different disciplines, taking photos for us and generally adding a lot of colour to the excursion. This feels like a really comfortable, safe and creative space to enjoy for a few hours outside of the medina. We had a fantastic two hours creating our own pieces - painting/mosaic and pottery. The artisans are all so wonderfully skilled and patient, we loved interacting with them and learning. This was the highlight. Mourad was also very good at making sure our pottery was delivered to us in Marrakesh and organised everything, which was above and beyond. The reason for giving four stars and not five is that we felt hugely under pressure to buy things once we were involved in the tour. Though it started well, there was frequent reference to other tourists and their commissions, dhl delivery, repetitive sales patter, which culminated in quite pushy behaviour in the shop at the end. We were really happy to buy things and wanted to spend more but to be honest this put us off and we didn’t want to spend any more money here. This is cultural and the Moroccan way for tourists, but we had thought we might be relieved of it during a craft morning. It is surprising to me that nobody else has commented on this. I would recommend this tour but be prepared to weather the sales pitch. Mourad is a great guy.
