Highlights
  • Dar Sunrise - First of all, take a sit on our magical terrace and have a cup of tea/coffee. I will show you some of my artworks and art pieces and have a short brief of our workshop.

All the tools and materials will be provided. I will teach you the basic techniques step by step. Once you grasp the basic skills, you can make your own art piece. In order to give you some idea, I will introduce some basic designs or reference which is suitable for beginners. It is also a chance to show your creativity. After preparing the draft design, we can start craving. You are not alone! I will assist you to complete the artwork. Due to the time limitation, you might not finish the whole art piece at the end. Don’t worry about that, everyone will be given a little handmade sculpture as a gift which is very unique and rarely found in souvenir shop.

All the craving skills can be adopted on wood and plastic or any other materials you like. You are able to join my class whether you have experience in craving or not. Let’s have fun together and learn more about Moroccan traditional handicraft!

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.
