Do not miss this opportunity! Our time with Rachid was like a visit with family. He comes from a family of 5 generations of weavers and uses a 350 year old loom made by his ancestors. He is recognized by the Moroccan government for his skill and teaches other weavers in the Chefchaouen area. He’s a kind soul with a passion for weaving and an even greater passion for people. In addition to plenty of time at the loom learning, we sat with Rachid, drank tea and ate sweets he bought for us. He shared his book of guest signatures with pride. Our time with him will always be one of our most cherished memories of Morocco. Prior to arriving at his loom, the tour company owner came to our riad to pick us up and take us to Rachid to ensure we wouldn’t get lost in the Medina. A class act from start to finish!

Description
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.
