Pottery Tour In Tamegroute: Take an excurion With a guide from Zagora to explore this small town of Tamagrour.
Pottery Of Tamegroute. This village, with its Berber and Arab population, is located 15 km from Zagora in the direction of Mhamid. The potteries of Tamegroute, a major artisanal activity of the Draa Valley and famous, are made according to a distant technique imported from Fez. The potter’s craftsmen work the turn that they operate with their feet. In this way, they make potteries which, when shaped, are put to dry in the sun and transform this earth into objects essential to everyday life.
This pottery from southern Morocco comes in two forms:
The pottery with significant green enamel of Tamegroute and whose origin would come from Fez is conceived by an alloy of manganese, copper oxide… Once the object covered with this composite, the whole is put to cook with suffocation in an oven of stone giving it this typical aspect.
A brown-coloured pottery is obtained without adding copper to the initial alloy. A white pottery decorated with henna completes the choice of Tamegroute pottery.
Historically, Tamegroute’s reputation as a place of education and religious importance dates back to the 11th Century, but it was only with the founding of a branch of the Naciri Brotherhood, an influential Sufi movement, in the 17th Century, that the belief spread that the Qur’an must be studied intently in order to understand Islam in its entirety. Hence the development of this prestigious library by Sidi Mohammed bin Nasir and his son, Ahmad, the latter continuing his father’s work after his demise by collecting further manuscripts on his travels throughout Arabia, Egypt and Iraq and other Arab countries of the world. In this small unassuming village, this library located within a zaouia (Islamic religious complex), housed books on such diverse topics as astrology, mathematics, medicine, religion, dictionaries, poetry – and of course many copies of the Qur’an
