We believe that every country has its own charm and its magic, and this is the story of one of it.
In the mountains near the city of Fez a dozen of men has dedicated their lives of the sake of Artisanat. Men who took on decades of knowledge and skills to deliver the best artisanal products.
The process of AtlasTiles includes the link between the villagers and the nature surrounding them, that’s why we are very strict when it comes to protecting our environment because it protects us by providing us the raw material for our production and our living.
Our story begins precisely in the area called Ben Jellik. Mountains of raw clay used in Zellige .
After the clay is drawn out from the heart of the mountain and took to the four to give it the shape, the clay tiles are paint with colored glass in one of the two sides, then they are calibred and cut.
The cutting is done in three phases: First is a form need to be drawn, whether we want triangles or squares or stars,
Then comes “Nequach” or the artisanal responsible of cutting it by hand by a sharp big hammer to give a perfect form to the clay, and finally they use a small hummer to sharp the edges.
After this process is done, each tile is a unique piece of art having its own nuances.
The zellije artisanat has known a huge development through the years. At the very first of the discovery of this material, it was directed to the princes and their castles. That’s why if you visit Morocco and you visit its monuments you will notice the zellige artisanat. Whether in the doors or the rooms and even in the bathroom or what we call “Hemmam beldi”. Then it has become a cultural acclimation.
Unfortunately, with the globalization effects and how people has turn their back on their cultures, the zellige manufacturing has left to dust.
Here where the creation of AtlasTiles has known the day. We are a group of artisans with the same vision, to make the zellige industry famous again, with a variety of handcraft products.
