Why Is Safi Pottery So Expensive?

[@samirkazah302]

God gave us the ability to create, so we created the machine and watched it. We died.

[@StoryRaven]

[@Elwingish]

We created God. He made us his slave.

I love Moroccan pottery, it is so vibrant and beautiful.

[@Y.M93]

I live in Safi and watching this process is just a true joy for me, thanks for putting the light on those artists and this art.. This is our legacy, so proud of it

[@StoryRaven]

Thank you for watching!

I love when people ask "why x thing is expensive" especially in regards to arts and crafts. Why shouldn't it be? It's a tangible, handmade item that is very much unique and that goes through a long process to finish. This isn't mass marketed products that come from China. Artisans are very much artists, in fact they are the first artists and it takes years if not a whole life to master one's craft. It is only fair that they sell their products at a higher price. It's very much a luxury item, Safi pottery is highly regarded in Morocco and elsewhere.

[@sahlibrahimi]

I'm from Safi, thanks for the documentary it's sooo well-made 👏

[@StoryRaven]

Thank you for watching!

[@rosetealatte9282]

This is a very wise and thoughtful man. You can see he has learned so much about life just from looking within. It is my wish for this mans son to see how much dignity and value there is in this as his career path. He can modernize if he wishes, but I pray he carries on his fathers fine work.

[@valerieneal2747]

@rosetealatte9282 Definitely....traditions such as these are our lifeline to global humanity..

[@fariha6343]

Beautiful video thanks for sharing,these are my favorite safi pottery designs where each design is unique... amazing

[@StoryRaven]

Thank you for watching!

[@LAMB-w8h]

If I lived closer to this man, I’d be the first in line to carry on his tradition.

[@bryanjohnson1254]

I am a private potter in WV and 100% agree with the smartest guy in the world👍

[@surendersingal2192]

Great docx sir on Safi pottery. Unbelievable degree of passion n dedication to bring Vibrant life out of local soils. Jussojuan

[@AliRaza-pc6rw]

The thing that strikes was his way of speaking and describing the process, i have never seen someone who spoke arabic in this way

[@rayanfaraji9191]

[@ashraf7242]

Thanks for this documentary

[@StoryRaven]

Thank you 🙏

[@Alternate_real]

Btw, we have the same kind of pottery here in India in most big cities at the outskirts you will find a caste of people called the "kumbhar" working on such vibrant and beautiful pottery. We dont value it as it is roadside albeit big makeshift shops.

[@Wickgirl65]

I loved Morocco, wonderful country and people. Got some beautiful pottery in Fez.

[@SadiyeYavuz-t9z]

Magnificent work with mastering of ideas and peaceful life

[@eshannon922]

رجل حكيم، فنان حقيقي، ومثقف بالفطرة. أتمنى من الابن ديالك أن يدرك يوما م أن الحرفيين أمثالك هم كنز المغربي الحقيقي، وأن يخرط في المحافظة عليه وضمان استمراريته. المال مصيره الزوال، لكن التحف الفنية التي تنتجها تسافر عبر العالم، تزبن بيوت أناس من كل دول العالم، وتستمر حية لقرون حتى بعد انقراض الجيل الذي عاصر إنتاجها.

[@HaroonKhan-ix3xs]

Beautiful SubhanAllah

* ماذا لو بدأ ابنك مشروعًا عبر الإنترنت لبيع الفخار؟ يمكنه استخدام الكمبيوتر والاستمرار في العمل!* What if your son would start an online business selling your pottery? He could use the computer and still be in the business!

Love Morocco from Indian momin

[@oaim50]

Who said it was the protestants who had the work ethic?

[@maestasify]

Enamel or clear glaze?

[@tegannottelling]

clear glaze, the narrator doesn't understand pottery and I would bet his interpreter chose the word enamel. Though you can paint fired pottery with enamel it just won't last as long as glaze and isn't food safe. (Neither is earthenware technically, as it only has about 16% vitrification, but people have been using it for centuries)

[@HogNDoze]

I noticed that unlike in Islamic art, some of these designs depict people and animals and such. Is this not considered haram? Loved the beauty of these creations.

[@chayqueen7609]

Actually, these animal representation are not popular at all, being from Morocco I have never seen these in Muslim houses. I think those could be for specific orders, such as for touristic purposes 😊

[@immuslimisupportqatar7591]

we dont paint animal in potery but i think he do that for tourist

[@DarkTitan-wm5zn]

​Tbsile taouse?​@@chayqueen7609

The human body is made of clay. Then Allah put spirit in it. Then that spirit choose it's path. Good or evil. Then, it became God on earth. Even though it was lifeless, clay in the start and will return to its original position in the end.

[@jsa-z1722]

Great! 👍 Thank you! But a pretty weird sounding script!

Des arnaques pour touristes du made in Chine comme en Tunisie ou Turquie il n’y a plus d’artisanat local

[@Cheddar-man.8cq]

la différence entre l'ignorance et la stupidité, c'est qu'une personne stupide pense que la poterie fait partie du secteur du tourisme et une personne ignorante pense la poterie made in china est moins chère la poterie marocaine, tunisienne et turque ! 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

[@salmad6044]

Y en a au Maroc

[@Ssookawai]

Il y a de la poterie à Fès et à Safi, de quoi vous parlez? Et je ne suis pas touriste, j'en ai chez moi.
