Pottery in Morocco :
In Morocco, pottery is the most representative craft of the local culture. Moroccan pottery is known around the world for being of unparalleled quality and beauty. Rent a car to discover Morocco and its crafts of ancestral tradition.
Pottery has long been rooted in the Moroccan tradition. It is an artisanal know-how that has been passed on from generation to generation, perfecting itself and reaching a level of global notoriety. There are however different styles of Moroccan pottery: city pottery, produced mainly in Salé, Fez and Safi; the pottery of the South and the pottery of the North, so-called rural pottery. City pottery, fine and sophisticated, takes the grounds of Islamic art, while the pottery of the North and South translate rather Berber art, sober and less colorful but just as decorative.
The process of making Moroccan pottery is a real work of patience. In fact, traditional potters collect and prepare their clay themselves, which they dry in the sun for several days then crush it, spray it, stir it by soaking it with water, smooth it, let it rest for a day and then knead it, crush it, cut it into strips, roll it and let it rest. Finally, after this laborious work, the potter can begin to knead the clay to prepare the making of a pottery.
Traditional baking is also a time-consuming process: 6 hours of cooking at 900 degrees and then 6 hours of waiting time for the oven to cool down and parts to recover. Pottery can be decorated before or after cooking, which also requires hours of patience, concentration and application. And it is thanks to this meticulous and meticulous work of potters that Morocco has become one of the most famous pottery manufacturers in the world.
The little Hertz Morocco advice: rent a station wagon to visit, with your family, the Moroccan craft centers and discover the rich variety of Moroccan pottery.
