Join us and escape to this far away land of patterns, colors and secret alleyways, culture and camels on this journey of a lifetime. We have curated the most delicious escape filled with guided shopping, cultural exploration and a workshop with Jane bursting with creativity and inspiration as we gather, wander and create as we journey together though the magic of Marrakech.

Spend 10 magical days and 9 fabulous nights with Jane Chipp and myself on this art & travel experience as we explore and find inspiration around every turn in and around Marrakech a 4 day mixed-media workshop with Jane in our nomadic atelier.

Moroccan Gatherings,

Record and interpret your experience of Marrakesh through a collection of small artworks combined to create a scroll book, a tin of story treasures and a tiny journal of precious memories.

There will be three parts to the Story Gatherings . . . a scroll, a story tin and a cover.

You will be guided to create a base scroll using many layers of lightweight and fragile papers and silk; embellished with the colours, shapes and culture of Morocco . . . each layer representing a part of your journey. Using stitch, collage and a variety of image transfer and textile techniques you will embellish the scroll, adding images, motifs, natural elements and words that represent your story to create a many layered, exquisite, scroll.

Narrate your story through collected fragments . . . partly obscured in the layers and encased in a tiny journal in a story tin, held safely within your scroll.

Encasing your scroll, story tin and journal, is a beautiful altered book cover, made using your fragments, and keeping your story safe and treasured. 

I will share techniques, learnt over many years as a textile and collage artist, to enable you to collate your own, unique experience in this beautiful way.

This course is for everyone . . . whether or not you think of yourself as a storyteller, we all have a story to tell.

"Art is the journey that colors our travels, and every retreat is a canvas where we paint our experiences, discovering the beauty of the world and ourselves in the process."

IMPORTANT NOTE FROM MICHELLE

  • You are required to get travel medical insurance, there are many companies but we use World Nomad.

  • Trip cancellation insurance strongly recommended.

  • Morocco can be overwhelming for the first time visitor. It is for the traveller who is open to new cultures, and is willing to have plans delayed, or a schedule which may shift. Flexibility is essential and participants should not be fearful travellers; being open to the diversity is all part of the experience and fun.

  • This is for the person who wants to travel to Morocco with the safety of a group; it is for the adventurer, the person who wants to feel all their senses in this amazing country.

  • If you have specific allergies (i.e. peanuts, wheat, gluten, dairy, etc.), it will be harder, but not impossible, for you to find food that suits your needs. We are unable to cater to any specific dietary issues - you will need to manage this. All meals will have vegetarian courses.

  • Consult a doctor, nurse or health care provider, or visit a travel health clinic preferably six weeks before you travel. (side note: If you have any pending health concerns you should contact your health care provider prior to registration).

Should you have any questions prior to registration please email me here.
