Top Chefchaouen Craft Classes

Get ready to unleash your creativity in the stunning blue city of Chefchaouen with a full-day art and craft experience. Over 8 to 10 hours, you’ll learn from talented local artisans in engaging workshops, picking three out of four unique activities like traditional wool weaving, hand painting, Moroccan calligraphy, or diving into an authentic cooking class. Each session is packed with hands-on fun, allowing you to create your own masterpieces while soaking up the rich culture and warmth of Moroccan hospitality. Enjoy Moroccan tea and snacks, and if you choose the cooking class, savor a delicious lunch made from local ingredients.

Have you ever looked at a beautifully woven item and thought, “I wish I could create something like that?” then this class is for you. First we will start with an introduction to the Moroccan artisanal and especially the wool while drinking a mint tea and having local cookies. Then you’ll practice in a traditional Moroccan loom with a the professional and friendly Maalem for 30 minutes to learn basic weaving terminology and techniques. Even you can spend more time with us if you want to make your own tissue and taking it back home. Please note that a piece of 1 m² takes about 4 hours to be made. Normally the activity takes about an hour and a half depends on the guests needs.

You will be among a group of women weavers willing to share the know how inherited from the ancestors. You will learn to make a beautiful Berber blanket, shawl or apron.

This workshop offers a truly unique experience — a chance to step inside a living piece of Moroccan history. Guided by the last traditional mule saddle craftsman of Chefchaouen, you’ll not only watch but create with your own hands, using the same natural materials and ancient techniques passed down for centuries. Set in a 16th-century Fendak in the heart of the Rif Mountains, this activity combines culture, craftsmanship, and human connection. You’ll spend 2 hours hands-on, learning weaving, shaping, and assembling techniques that few ever experience. Enjoy Moroccan tea and local stories while connecting with a craft that has defined village life for generations. By participating, you’re helping preserve a vanishing art, supporting a local artisan, and leaving with a deep cultural understanding and a memorable, one-of-a-kind experience that goes far beyond a standard workshop.
