MEET THE MAKERS
Redwan Menafa
Born in 1985, Redwan has been a weaver since he was very young and learned how to weave from his father. After traveling to many different craft fairs and meeting with various artisans, he got the idea to form a cooperative so they could keep the full value for the work that they sell. In 2013, he finally got the approval for Cooperative Liberty. Redwan specializes in creating the designs for many of the cooperatives products and is also skilled in embroidery. Redwan is married and has two children.
Jamila
After completing high school, Jamila enrolled in a sewing school in Marrakech for two years. After working in the city of Marrakech for a little while, she decided that it would be better to return to Tameslouht to begin sewing. Given the proximity of her work shop to Redwan, she heard about him starting a cooperative and decided to join and she continues to work with Cooperative Liberty to this day. When she isn't working at the cooperative, she can be found teaching at a local association in Tameslouht.
