Agadir Pottery Workshop Reviews :
Franchement super
Je n’étais pas super motivé à tester la poterie mais madame m’a convaincu et on a passé un super moment. Les artisans ont a cœur de nous aider et de nous faire réussir notre pièce, mais ce n’est pas qu’une activité pour les touristes, c’est leur métier et leur passion. En tout cas, allez faire cette activité, ca en vaut le coup.
Super moment
Nous avons passé un super moment avec les artisans à l’atelier poterie! L’endroit est fascinant car en plein développement, Mustafa et Rachid ont été de très bons professeurs et on a adoré voir et expérimenter la culture artisanale locale. Aussi, Mehdi a été très flexible et accueillant. Nous recommandons c’était une super expérience.
Super expérience en solo
Je vous recommande vivement de vivre cette expérience au début de votre séjour à Agadir. J’ai organisé un trajet en taxi aller-retour pour y participer, mais cela en valait vraiment la peine. Si vous restez dans la région pendant environ une semaine, les artisans mettront vos pièces dans le four et vous les livreront à votre hôtel ou votre raid. Même si vous ne pouvez pas attendre que les pièces soient cuites, je vous conseille de profiter de l’expérience, car c’était incroyablement amusant. En tant que voyageuse en solo, je me suis sentie très à l’aise. Dans l’ensemble, je donnerais à cette expérience un score parfait de 10 sur 10.

Agadir’s clay is a superior quality clay, highly valued by local potters for its fine texture and ability to produce strong, durable pieces. Local potters extract the clay in the Agadir area, in the region’s quarries, then prepare and knead it.
Agadir’s clay is rich in minerals and trace elements, providing beneficial properties for health and skin. The cosmetic and dermatological industries use it for its absorbing and cleansing properties, as well as for its soothing effects on sensitive skin.
In pottery, artisans use Agadir’s clay to create a wide variety of objects, ranging from bowls and vases to carafes and tagines. Thanks to their expertise in using this clay, local potters create unique and authentic pieces that reflect the richness and diversity of Moroccan culture.
Many consider Agadir’s clay, which plays a key role in Moroccan pottery, as one of the best clays for creating superior quality ceramic pieces.
