For centuries, Moroccan artisans have perpetuated traditional know-how, passed down from generation to generation. Moroccan artisans are known for their mastery of woodworking techniques, plant materials, metal, ceramics, leather and textiles. Each region of Morocco has its artisanal specialties, such as Berber carpets from the Atlas, pottery from Fez, jewelry from Tiznit or even zelliges from Marrakech.
Materials and techniques of Moroccan craftsmanship
Moroccan artisans use a wide variety of materials to create their decorative works of art. Wood, plants, metal, ceramics, leather, glass and textiles are most commonly used. Each material is worked with meticulousness and know-how, giving birth to unique and authentic pieces.
Traditional techniques are also highlighted in Moroccan craftsmanship. The woodwork is done by hand, carved with precision to create furniture and decorative objects with geometric patterns and finely crafted details. Moroccan pottery is renowned for its vibrant colors and intricate designs, made using modeling, glazing and firing techniques. Leather artisans use ancestral methods of tanning and dyeing to create slippers, bags and poufs in shimmering colors.
