A CLOSER LOOK

Notes from the landscapes, craft and everyday life of southern Morocco.

Start with the maker

In Taznakht, let a conversation about weaving begin with provenance. Ask who made a piece, where the wool came from and how the colours were produced.

Time is part of the material

Technique and labour matter as much as pattern. Compare pieces thoughtfully and avoid assuming that one symbol has a universal meaning across every community.

Buy with clarity

Agree the final price, shipping, dimensions and any care instructions. Photograph makers only with permission and do not turn a workshop visit into a performance.
