Tamegroute Pottery
A potter shaping green-glazed ceramics in Tamegroute's traditional workshops
The green ceramics of Tamegroute are made nowhere else. The distinctive glaze — a copper-based formula — has been passed through families in this village at the edge of the Sahara for centuries. The workshops are open, the kilns are wood-fired, and the finished pieces cost a fraction of what they sell for in Marrakech.
The pottery workshops are next door to the library. We visit both — the green glaze is made nowhere else, and the prices here are what the pieces are actually worth.
