Ceramics are everywhere in Fez – from the distinctive blue pottery to the intricate mosaics decorating fountains and riads. There are three major pottery centers in Fez. These centers are professional operations, and free guides will take you through the entire production process, from pot-throwing to the painstaking hand painting and laying out of zellige (colorful geometric mosaic tilework) – it’s a joy to behold. The potteries are about 500m east of Bab El Ftouh.
