El Patio Cultural
Hands-on experiences in calligraphy, weaving, painting, cooking, and creative expression — led by master artisans.
Our workshops are designed to connect you with centuries of craft tradition through direct, hands-on experience. Led by practicing artisans and artists, each session is an immersion into the techniques, materials, and cultural stories behind the craft.
Learn the art of Arabic calligraphy from master calligrapher Hassan Benjelloun. Explore different scripts — Maghrebi, Thuluth, and Naskh — and create your own compositions using traditional reed pens and natural inks.
Work alongside women weavers from the Rif mountain cooperatives to learn traditional textile techniques. Discover the symbolism behind Amazigh patterns and create your own piece on a hand loom.
Capture the light and architecture of the medina through watercolor with artist Youssef Chraibi. Paint the arches, tiles, and courtyards of El Patio from life.
Prepare traditional Moorish and Berber dishes in our courtyard kitchen. Learn the secrets of tagines, pastillas, and Sephardic pastries under the guidance of our resident chef.
Planning for a group? We create bespoke workshop experiences for teams, families, and cultural tours.
