Tamegroute Pottery

{image via}

FIFTY SHADES OF GREEN

Like so many Moroccan crafts and products, the distinctive style, design and technique of the Tamegroute pottery is embedded in practical neccesity, out of which a distinctive aesthetic has developed.
These ceramics are from a single village in Morocco and their tactile designs full of beautiful inconsistencies have put them on the agenda of all intrepid designers scouring the souks.

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.
Sitting on the edge of the Sahara, 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.

SHOP

During the past year makers and merchants of Morocco who rely heavily on tourism for an income have been hit hard – with this in mind a few people came up with the collaborative idea of  HELP LOCAL WITH LOVE

Based between Morocco, Belgium and the Netherlands, they have teamed up to provide an online platform for artisans who have been cut off from their market. You can read more about the ideas and the people behind the project HERE

The team of Help Local with Love are working with a few of the Tamegroute artisans directly – you can shop for tamegroute online or get in touch for made to order items. Working through sites like this you know that the makers of these beautiful pieces of ceramics are benefitting directly from each  purchase.

#assilah #asilah #ahouseinassilah

Good morning from Assilah – before I head out for
Good morning from Assilah - before I head out for a strong coffee and start thinking about all things lighting, plumbing and fabrics, I thought it was time to show my face and share a little about what keeps me busy when I'm not bashing away at my laptop...Very much still a work-in-progress but slowly the ideas are becoming reality as the re-imagining of this lovely property takes shape. The first step in "going public" is our Instagram page @dar_ambrosia PLEASE follow the progress there - not much too see (yet)but there is a playlist of a few of the songs that fuel the process😊 - in the meantime DM me for any questions about the space/accommodation/house rental /retreats...see you over  at @dar_ambrosia !! But first coffee...

I can honestly say I think of my mum most days but today is her birthday so the thoughts and memories are a little more poignant - there are still moments when I want to reach for the phone and have a conversation knowing I will get - most of the time - her unquestioning support xx
