A five-day training course in clay decoration and carving is held at the Algerian Centre for Clay Heritage in Timimoun from 15 to 19 November.
The Algerian Centre for Clay Heritage (CAPTERRE) is running a training course in the craft of clay decoration and carving. It draws on the building heritage of the Gourara region, especially the geometric Zenata patterns that mark traditional clay architecture.
The course combines theory and practice. Participants learn about clay building materials and how to prepare surfaces and coatings, then move on to drawing and carving decorations on walls and frames.
The initiative is part of efforts to preserve traditional crafts and pass on skills linked to earthen architecture to younger generations.
The course is free, and lunch is provided on training days. Participants pay their own transport and accommodation.
Registration is open until 7 November, at 23:59.
