Workshop Program:

Your experience begins with a warm welcome in a traditional workshop in the heart of Fes, where you will meet your local artisan. You’ll be introduced to the rich history of Moroccan leather craftsmanship and the importance of Fes as one of the world’s oldest leatherworking centers. After a short demonstration, you will explore the tools and materials used in the process and start designing your own leather wallet by choosing the style, shape, and color that suits your taste.

Once your design is ready, you will move into the hands-on phase of the workshop. Under the guidance of your instructor, you’ll learn how to cut and shape genuine leather using traditional techniques. You will then assemble your wallet step by step, practicing authentic hand-stitching methods that have been passed down through generations of artisans in Fes. This part of the experience is both relaxing and rewarding, allowing you to fully connect with the craft.

In the final stage, you will add the finishing touches to your creation by polishing the edges and refining the details of your wallet. You may also personalize it with simple decorations or initials, making it a truly unique piece. At the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with your handmade leather wallet, a deeper appreciation for Moroccan craftsmanship, and unforgettable memories of your creative experience in Fes.
