Weaving and natural-dye learning in the Atlas Mountains

Learn how fibre, colour and loom work come together in the Atlas Mountains. Practise one real technique with an artisan and understand what a short session can produce.

Picture your learning day

Practise weaving and natural dye in Atlas Mountains

Handle the fibre, see how colour and pattern are prepared, then practise one weaving movement beside the artisan who uses it every day.

What your hands or voice will do

  • Identify fibre, structure or motif
  • Prepare a loom, stitch or small sample

What you can carry with you

A small sample where appropriate, vocabulary for the technique and a better way to judge future work.

Ask before you decide

  • Named practitioner and hands-on time
  • Demonstration versus hands-on making

Ask about this lesson

Atlas textile learning can include wool preparation, spinning, vegetable dye, design, warp and weaving. Ask which stages you will perform and which remain in the artisan’s hands.
