Craftsmanship in Fez
At the end of September I travelled to Morocco and spent a couple of days in Fez. Its millenary Medina is filled with treasures and surprises, and wandering through the maze of its small streets definitely is the best way to get a good sense of the heart of the city.
Tanneries, potteries, weavers, carpenters, painters, etc. there are plenty of crafts still being practiced and taught. All those traditions and this know-how were quite incredible to witness, at a time when we’re used to manufactured goods produced in factories. There, people are working with their hands, their skills and what they’ve learned, generation through generation. And it was beautiful to see.
Fantastic! I travelled to Morocco in March, it’s an amazing place to photograph. I’ll definitely be going back to visit Fez

Beautiful photographs. I never made it to Fez, but it looks very similar to Marrakech – maybe even more Medieval looking? Either way, lovely captures!
