Story Behind the Art

Pottery of this type is made in Safi, Morocco, a fishing town on the Atlantic coast of Morocco. Safi is known as one of the centers for this artform utilizing red clay to create authentic Moroccan ceramics. Clay is softened by hand and formed using a potter's wheel which is powered by foot, using age old techniques. Pieces are dried in the sun then baked in kilns that are over 200 years old. All items are hand etched and painted. The artisans live comfortably but modestly. Within the medina, there is a souk (market) where most of the artisans work. This is the center of trade for each city. Most families live with extended family and have strong family values. Moroccans are very proud of their artform. If the father is an artisan then the son will always have the opportunity to learn this trade. It is important to keep the craft in the family and for the son to make a living to look after his family as he grows older.
