One of only three living artisans who has successfully rediscovered and mastered the ancient Phoenician method of producing authentic Tyrian purple from Murex snails—a technique lost for over 1,500 years. His work bridges archaeology, chemistry, and artistry.

*Pricing varies based on scale (e.g., size of dye vat, number of participants). All programs require 3–4 weeks’ notice for scheduling.

While fabrics dyed during workshops remain the property of Mr. Nouira (as their actual value exceeds the workshop fee), institutions may keep a few souvenir samples for educational use.
