marrakech workshops 2017

NEW travel workshops in Marrakech next year!

Besides the Cool Crochet Marrakech workshops, we will organize new Green Gardens of Marrakech workshops in 2017.

During the last years I've visited quite some stunning gardens and oases in the medina and fell in love with the amazing green gardens of Marrakech. For those out there, who can't or rather don't want to crochet, we will arrange an opportunity to discover Marrakech in an alternative way next year.

Both workshops will be organized in Spring and Autumn. You can choose your favorite.
