Mohamed, our lampshade maker for Riad Chi-Chi, Marrakech

We are often asked about the lampshades in Riad Chi-Chi – you don’t see them for sale in the souks.  So here is a small video about Mohamed, our lampmaker.  He can make what you want to-order.

He agreed to show us some of his skills - you will see lots of workshops like his as you wander the suqs of Marrakech. Later in the video, you will see another gifted craftsman fashion a beautiful copper lamp.
