An Ancestral Art:

Artisans from the regions of Fes and Safi create this pottery while respecting the purest traditions. They use the “double firing” technique: first molding the clay and firing it for nearly six hours at 900 degrees in a traditional oven, then painting and firing it again to achieve its characteristic vibrant colors.

Diversity of Styles:

Ceramics from the medina, primarily produced in Fes and Safi, are fine and sophisticated, drawing inspiration from Islamic art motifs. In contrast, rural ceramics from the south and north of Morocco reflect Berber art, featuring simpler designs that are equally decorative. Each piece showcases Morocco’s rich cultural heritage.
