The designs made by the association are rooted in the long weaving history of the region. Many of these rugs, known as Taznakht rugs, are made distinct by bright reds and yellows, colors that represent the landscape in which the rugs were made. These bohemian style rugs have a contemporary feel while incorporating traditional Moroccan designs.

MEET THE MAKERS

Handmade by 2 members of Association Timouzounin

Rqia Brka

Rqia Brka is originally from Tadula Zanfi. While Rqia only finished two years of school, she has been determined to learn and is now enrolled in her association’s literacy class. She learned how to weave from her mom and now continues to weave in the association in her free time. She hopes that one day their sales will improve and that she will be able to make a living from her skills.

Aicha Qayyou

Aich Qayou was born in the late 1970’s. She learned how to weave from her mother at a young age and then joined the association in 2008. Through her work at the association, she hopes that one day she can earn enough income to build her own private house. In her free time she likes to watch Turkish soap operas and hopes that in the future she will have the income to travel more.
