A creative weekend designed to help you slow down and step inside living craftsmanship in Tunis. While most travelers see souvenir shops and typical tourist spots, we open doors to something far more intimate.
Hey there! We’re Alice and Janina. Craft is the thread connecting what we do.
Since 2018, Janina has been hosting macramé and creative workshops across Germany, Belgium and Spain, bringing people together through their hands and imagination.
Alice has built direct relationships with more than 60 independent artisans across the Maghreb, helping preserve traditional crafts through her brand Faridique.
This project was born during a slow afternoon near the Sahara desert over a mint tea with one simple question: what if people could experience craftsmanship at its source - real atelier handwork, side by side with artisans.
So we created exactly that: The Creative Artisan Weekend. An intimate 4-day experience in Tunis, where you can learn directly from master artisans. Come and join us!
