Earlier this week I spent an interesting afternoon in Bristol at an Instagram workshop run by Matt Inwood – he does his workshop in a couple of different venues and as they are foodie related, all end with a lovely meal. It was great to learn new skills and meet new people – and in some cases put faces to Instagram names that I have been following for a while . . .  the wonders of this virtual world of ours!

But – to cut to the chase and return to the topic in the title . . .

Part of the workshop was a hands on session taking and editing images using props Matt had brought along to the workshop.

This is one of the pictures I took.

And, as I said in my INSTAGRAM caption,

I couldn’t NOT photograph this plate from the middle of Morocco in the Middle of Bristol!!

It reminded me how much I love this very particular ceramicware, from a single village in Morocco.

It is incredibly tactile, and full of beautiful inconsistencies.

The colour and texture is a result of the particular alchemy created by the potters of Tamegrout – a small village in the Draa Valley of Southern Morocco – and remains a family affair handed down the generations.

The characteristic green colour comes from the particular combination of the clay from the Draa River bed ,the composition of the glaze and a single firing process.

Like so many things in Morocco, basic utilitarian objects become a thing of beauty, and a traditional craft is kept alive and remains a vibrant part of the culture – and if like Matt you are lucky enough to find one at a car boot sale in Bristol, cherish the fact that it was made by hand in a village far far away . . .

For more information there is a lovely piece on the village and the pottery written HERE on the Couleur Locale blog.

And the joy of giving yourself fresh new white walls means a new space to put those familiar images and items and bring a little of your own history into a new space - with my favourite @dar_fatyme cushion in pride of place along with beads and prints from South Africa and woven throw from the north - the question is....how long will I be able to avoid the temptation of adding colour?? I already have some ideas bubbling under the surface!! #decoratinginblackandwhite

The end of 2020 involved a move up a mountain (literally and figuratively) so as we start the year with fingers crossed and looking forward to be able to get back to our place in the sun in Assilah we are also working  out a restructuring of our lives that will allow for flexibility and change in 2021 - here's hoping....so from my corner on a Welsh mountainside to yours, best wishes for 2021 x

Over the last week I have been posting some 
carpets that I love - a range that show the diversity of colours, designs and weaves that make the stories behind these carpets so compelling. These carpets are available and can be wrapped up in the medina and be underfoot in your home in a matter of days - please feel free to DM me with any questions about size (I have put dimensions on posts) quality, price etc
Also - if there is something specific you are looking for re size, colour etc - let me know and we can see what we can find for you xx 'tis the season after all....
