Tafza pottery
Tafza pottery is pottery inspired by the eponymous river that crosses the Ourika valley, near Marrakech, Morocco. Made from quality clay, these potteries are shaped using traditional craft techniques. Their organic shapes and flowing lines recall the movement of water. The patterns and decorations are inspired by the surrounding nature, with floral and animal representations and characteristic landscapes of the region. The pottery is air-dried and fired in traditional kilns to make it solid. They are appreciated for their natural aesthetics and are used as decorative elements. The Tafza Potteries are also popular souvenirs, symbolizing local craftsmanship and the beauty of the Ourika Valley.
