What to expect

Working cooperative in Essaouira

Spend an hour and a half inside a working cooperative in Essaouira, where artisans transform fabric offcuts into jewellery. You join a standard group workshop format that focuses on turning discarded material into bracelets and earrings you can wear home.

Features

• Watch how fabric offcuts are sorted, cut, and prepared before they are worked, so you see each stage that turns leftover material into something wearable. This close-up look at the process helps you understand how bracelets and earrings are built from simple strips of cloth.
• Take part in a guided jewellery workshop led by the cooperative's artisans, who demonstrate techniques and then support you as you work. Their step-by-step guidance keeps the session accessible whether this is your first time making jewellery or not.
• Use all fabric, fastenings, and tools provided for you, so there is no need to bring materials or equipment. You select from the available recycled fabrics, then add fastenings to transform them into finished pieces.
• Create jewellery during the workshop and take it home at the end of the session, leaving with your own bracelets and earrings as a tangible reminder of your time in the cooperative.
• Pause during the workshop for water and mint tea, which are included and available to keep you refreshed while you focus on your designs.
• Receive souvenir photos that capture you working alongside the cooperative's artisans and showing your completed jewellery, giving you an easy way to remember and share the experience.
