Art Naji is a traditional family-run pottery store, where the art of creating Fes’s iconic blue-painted pottery has been carefully passed down in the Fakhari family from father to son. This is one of the rare places in Fes where pottery and zellij tile mosaics are all lovingly handcrafted. From shaping the soft clay to painting the fired pieces and assembling every tiny piece in the mosaic, every step in the production of ceramics is done by hand.

Watch the transformation of wet, dull clay into glossy, exquisite works of art at Art Naji. You can witness artisanal craftsmen work on the pottery wheel, feel the heat from the roaring kilns and watch with bated breath as the pottery takes on beautiful colours at the hands of skilled painters. At the end of your tour, you can buy a piece of pottery home as well.

With marvellous ceramic vases, dishes and tagines up for sale, all made with such speed and accuracy by highly talented potters and painters, Art Naji is definitely the place to be to cultivate a deeper appreciation for the world of ceramics and mosaics when in Morocco.
