It was such a lovely time and I would definitely recommend the pottery session. 😊 The sisters really love what they do and it shows, my boyfriend and I had an amazing experience. Only thing that is something you might need to consider, is that the atelier is a little out of the center, so you have to take a taxi. But with inDrive that’s super easy to do.

A wonderful experiance! The workshop was supposed to take 1,5 hours but we spend more than 2,5 hours there. We had a lot of fun and additionally got sooo many good recommentations for Restaurants, Roof top Bars, Activities and Hammams … it was amazing!

Very experienced artist, showing us the basics of pottery making in a nice workshop. A very personal experience and we both enjoyed it.
We were surprised just how good some of our finished items came out, bearing mind we were complete novices.
Highly recommended and a lovely experience.

We were given both the experience to try the pottery wheel and also ways we could play about with the clay using the tools provided. The session ran for longer than expected and it was a shame we could not take home our creations

An amazing experience. Thankful we could re-organise the time so last minute even though it was my fault I got the dates mixed up. Learnt so much and would highly recommend the class to anyone! A pity there was no time to put our items on the kin!

Lovely afternoon being able to play with clay, and using the potters wheel. The artist was lovely, very welcoming and patient. Relaxing way to spend an afternoon away from the bustle of the Medina.

Such a wonderful experience! I didn't think clay activities were this calming, I enjoyed every moment of it. You'll also discover your artistic side. It's definitely a must try!

Great experience, first time trying pottery with my 19yr old daughter. Zineb was great, very knowledgeable and patient as I repeatedly broke my clay on the wheel...)) A great way to spend a couple of hours on a rainy day in Marrakech. Highly recommend.

Great fun, the kids and adults loved it! We made pots with clay and then tried the potters wheel, it's a lovely studio with an outside courtyard and the hosts and friendly and welcoming. We made too much and couldn't take it all home! If you are only there for a week maybe do this at the start so it has time to dry. We put ours on the roof the riad to dry and it stayed in one piece in our suitcase. We made little tiles, and bowls and candle holder, and egg cups, the choice is yours, it's very flexible, whatever takes your fancy, very therapeutic. The teacher had broken her wrist but was super helpful on the potters wheel despite this and also it was her birthday, so thanks very much for accommodating us on your birthday - we had such fun and such unique items to remind us of our Marrakech holiday!

Thank you Zineb for being such a great teacher and host. Me and Pia had the best couple of hours at your shop. Time just flew away 😁
Also thanks for greeting us 30 minutes too early and letting us steal a bit more of your time. I know we had very different skill levels, but you gave us both a lot of valuable information and hands-on exercises to take away with us.
Highly recommendable. Take care and thanks - Jacob & Pia
