Marrakech: Original Mosaic Candle Holder Workshop & Tea

Trade the buzz of the medina for a few calm, creative hours — and leave with a glowing piece of Morocco you made with your own hands. In this relaxed, hands-on workshop just steps from Jardin Majorelle, a local artisan guides you through one of Morocco's most beautiful crafts: the colorful mosaic work you see glowing in riads and palaces across the country. Whether you've never held a piece of glass or you craft all the time, you're in good hands from the very first minute. Start with a warm welcome and a glass of fresh mint tea. Then choose from a spread of colorful hand-cut glass and design your own original pattern — geometric, floral, or something entirely yours — inspired by traditional Moroccan architecture. Piece by piece, your artisan shows you the techniques passed down through generations as your candle holder takes shape in your hands. There's no rush. Sip your tea, taste the Moroccan pastries, and enjoy the quiet focus of making something beautiful — a welcome change of pace from the busy streets outside. Then comes the moment everyone waits for: you place a candle inside, and your colorful creation lights up with a warm Moroccan glow. That candle holder comes home with you — a souvenir with a story, worth far more than anything you'll find in the souks. Perfect for couples, families, solo travelers, and friends alike, this is the kind of experience you remember long after the trip ends — and light up on your shelf back home. Spots are limited to keep groups small and personal, so book ahead to secure yours.
