Terrace of Riad Kettani, where the sculpture workshop is held, overlooking the Fez medina

Sculpture Workshop

A week of creating on the terrace, above the rooftops of the medina

For one week, the terrace of Riad Kettani becomes an open-air studio. 10 participants, tuition by Charlotte Petit and the unhurried rhythm of the house — with two days out of Fez, in the Middle Atlas and at the ancient site of Volubilis. Days alternate between working the material and discovering the city; booking is by e-mail.

The workshop at a glance

  • One week

    A full week at the riad, from the first day to the last.

  • Group of 10

    A small group, so everyone gets close attention.

  • On the terrace

    The studio is set up in the open air, facing the rooftops of the medina.

  • Booking by e-mail

    Dates, price and detailed programme on request.

The studio on the terrace

The worktables stay set up on the terrace all week: everyone picks up their piece again from one day to the next, between outings into the medina. In the morning and late in the afternoon, the light of Fez is soft and the place is quiet.
