La Maison du Maroc regards craft as an important part of its
activity. Artisans from around the Mediterranean world, especially the
regions that escaped an excessive industrialization tend to work in
techniques often developed over many centuries. Yet, their product is
still relevant to today’s life style and often adds an aura of
timelessness to our modern space. It is part a universal heritage.
With unmatched skill, Moroccan input in this arena steadily reflects
a craftsmanship that takes us back in time and dazzles our senses with
warmth and humanness.
Craft in Morocco is undergoing today a renewed interest both on the
part of its admirers but mostly through a host of young artists and
craftsmen, native and foreign, who are flocking to artisans’ workshops
to learn the centuries’ old techniques and adapt them to new designs. |
