Pottery Manufacture

At the main square of Tamegroute, you find seven ovens. Seven ovens, belonging to seven pottery families. Each family has an oven and  own atelier, built of clay. Every family member has individual tasks and skills. The art-form and handcraft of pottery is carried over between generations.

About Our Cooperative

There are 25 people of the village, that are involved in producing pottery, men and women. In the shop, which is directly connected to the pottery and led by Tarik Aabi, the typical green pottery is sold. The shop owner takes a low commission, 95% of the earned money go directly to the families, who produce.

Due to tourism and due to the pottery, the families of Tamegroute are able to live a self-determined life while keeping their tradition and their authenticity.
