A 6-day ceramic programme,
Tamegroute, Southern Morocco

This workshop offers a genuine  journey into the ceramics of Tamegroute, inviting you to explore centuries-old techniques, understand the heritage of this remarkable tradition in Southern Moroccan pottery, and create your own pieces alongside the Master Potters and Yeddin Studio.

Tamegroute ceramics, both ancient and contemporary, embrace roughness and visible flaws such as cracks and glaze crawling. Their link to the past lies in the distinctive green and ochre glazes.

What to Expect

You’ll meet the master potters, guardians of an age-old craft, and observe their time-honoured techniques handed down through generations. 
Working with locally sourced clay, you’ll take part in the distinctive glazing process that gives this pottery its character.

You’ll also witness the firing of your creations in one of the seven historic kilns, dating back to the 16th century and still operated by the families who produce all of Tamegroute’s ceramics. Guided by the local artisans Saïd and Atman Lkhdar as well as Yeddin Studio, you will shape, glaze, and wood-fire your pieces in the traditional green and ochre tones of the region.

The programme offers more than a craft experience: it invites a genuine cross-cultural dialogue, nurturing an appreciation for the region’s living heritage through hands-on practice, shared stories, and authentic connection with the local community.
