In this inspiring workshop, you’ll learn how to create unique handmade jewelry using beautiful gemstones. Guided by designer Fatima Essahsah, known for her attention to detail and passion for natural materials, you’ll explore a world of colors, textures, and shapes that will ignite your creativity.

Fatima will take you on a creative journey where you’ll not only learn simple techniques to craft stunning jewelry but also discover the stories behind the stones, their symbolism, and their energy. The focus of the workshop is on creating jewelry pieces that tell a story. Rather than just aesthetics, participants are encouraged to use their jewelry as a form of personal expression. Whether you’re a beginner or have some experience, these workshops are designed to inspire and challenge everyone. You’ll learn how to use fishing wire to string different gemstones, creating patterns that reflect the story you want to tell.

Fatima Essahsah is the passionate founder of Stones Stories and a talented jewelry designer. Her unique pieces are crafted in Morocco using traditional Jewish and Moroccan craft techniques. Drawing inspiration from her road trips across Morocco, Fatima discovers stories that reflect the rich diversity of North Africa. Founded in 2017, Stones Stories is more than just a jewelry brand; it’s a platform that brings the cultural heritage of North Africa to life.

Fatima’s work extends to international museums where it is exhibited, and she gives lectures emphasizing cultural diversity. She also regularly organizes workshops and social experiments aimed at connecting people from different cultures. Her jewelry not only showcases beauty but also carries a deeper narrative—a narrative that invites people to explore the rich history and traditions of North Africa.
