About the savoir-faire, the modeled pottery
The potters of northern Morocco perpetuate the ancient art of modeled pottery, which first appeared around 6,000 BC. The techniques and patterns used today are very close to those of their origins. This ancestral know-how, which has disappeared around the Mediterranean, still lives in the pre-Rif. Today, these potters are the guardians of this ancient art. The modeled pottery according to the ancestral art of primitive firing depends on the weather, the women potters make their pieces and then fire them in an open fire for more than 12 hours. Depending on the tribe, the potter prepares an open fire or a dug hole - a pit oven -, and covers it with wood and shavings. It requires a slow combustion below 1000 degrees Celsius. At each step of the process, the materials used are natural and come from the potter’s surroundings; the clay and grog dug from the earth, mineral pigments for painting. The primitive firing technique leads to unpredictable and unexpectedly beautiful results, including the appearance of fire marks on certain parts.
About the artisan
Raja learned the craft from her mother. Her sister, Fatima, and her neighbor, Malika, help her with the clay work and decoration of the ceramics, while Raja has mainly specialized in modeling the pieces.
