Rug Weaving Workshop in Fes, Morocco
I visited Fes without the intention of taking a rug-weaving class, but I serendipitously came across The Anou's instagram account and decided to book a week-long course. I am so glad that I did! The course was well-thought out, insightful, and so enjoyable.
I learnt not only how to weave a small rug, but I learnt more about Moroccan culture, the lives of Moroccan women, and the behind-the-scenes of the weaving industry in Morocco. The ladies at The Anou were incredibly welcoming, and didn't hesitate to lend a hand or go over things twice (sometimes more!) with me when I had trouble with elements of the weaving. I started as a complete beginner and came away with my own little rug.
I would 100% recommend this course to anyone, or even a shorter one if you're tight on time, even if you don't consider yourself creative. The Anou team will go above and beyond to make it a really lovely experience for you.
