The reason less people are learning this trade is because they are not paid enough.. The artisans do so much work yet it's only the owners who make more profits. This is a problem with almost all traditional trades here in morocco times are changing and the cost o f living is getting higher and higher. Hopefully our country becomes developed before this knowledge dies. I watch woodblock printers and carvers in japan who practice the traditional way of making prints and I notice they are educated young patient they can get paid the same maybe even more as someone working in a company or factory and they can afford health-care and schools and houses. Where as here the young (my self included) are choosing office jobs cause it's the only way to ensure a stable future where you can marry and have children and ensure there futures as well.

This is true for most Indian craftsmen too. Ultimately there will only be a few craftsmen left who will command high prices as the craft will be very niche and available to only the very rich. Or to the Govt if it is able to sponsor the craftsmen. Such exquisite craft can never be a mass product.

I’ve been a tile installer for 40 plus years. These are the most beautiful man made tiles you will ever find at twice the price. They are very skilled workers and must like there work cause the craftsmanship shows in all of it. Great job.

The word "maalem" in Arabic doesn't exactly mean teacher, at least currently. While it can mean a male school teacher but it's not commonly used for that. Here it translates into "master" and it's used to refer to an experienced craftsmen, in construction it is used to refer to a leader of a crew(equivalent to Forman in English)..it also used as an adjective to describe a person very good at what he does.

If they wont invest to properly maintain, then they certainly wont spend the money on these tiles. American cities flat out dont spend much money on their aesthetics. They legitimately build with styrofoam in an effort to get the best bang for buck, but it falls short of feeling like true architecture. Theyre not going to be spending money on tiles like this.

The US can do exactly the same thing if they want to and they even have done so in a number of neighborhoods in a number of cities, but the point is its not the standard. Because they can do it with what they have and choose not to, why would they go even further and spend more money to bring in beautiful Moroccan tiles? I am talking about general city decoration and aesthetics. I am not talking about individuals or one-offs.

The torment that awaits for the unsaved: REGRETS, that do not get forgiven (feeling sorry so deeply that it hurts inside yet knowing the whole time (forever) that no forgiven is found for you any longer. Is that enough of the torment? - oh dear soul, no, you will be placed in the middle of a lake full of fire (not water) and you will burn and not dying, for even you, who stayed wicked sinner (unsaved soul) did put on immortality that even single part of you cannot perish, but be everlasting. Now, tell me, is that not a torment? We can have a piece of that torment even here, many of us have been felt sorry/regret of thing we have done- right? - now Imagen, not getting forgiven for rest of your days. See, we are found already in torment, in a temporary torment. In the lake of fire, THE TORMENT LAST FOREVER. DAY AND NIGHT WITHOUT ANY KIND OF REST. NO DAY(S) OFF. Even if you have been there (in torment) already for millions and trillions of years, you`ll be there same long. That`s the something, we are trying you all warn about. Instead of dying twice, you`ll choose LIFE. The life(promises) that GOD promise to give us , IF WE REPENT AND BORN AGAIN =GET SAVED. “Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.” Psalms 27:7 (KJV) How to deal with BIBLE? 1.) read it from 1st page (1.testament) to the last page (2. testament) = getting to know the text that`s in the bible, 2.) Start to study the bible, why it is written the way it was and what kind of picture does it actually give us. 3.) While hunger for truth - one receives the COMFORTER - THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO WILL TEACH US AND BRING INTO OUR REMEMBRANCE ALL THING JESUS TOLD US. 4.) congratulations, you now also knowing and understanding the harsh truth like i do. aka the heavenly wisdom.

@Son Of Rabat it's not about that. People who do this kind of work are extremely skilled, but they're not paid enough, because no one can afford to buy tiles that would require them to take a loan. Also it's not like mass produced tiles couldn't mimic this, they could, people just think that automated stuff has to be flawless so no one even goes exploring that possibility. You could easily waterjet cut tiles to fake these kinds of designs and glazing with different shades is also nothing spectacular.

I want to buy things like these so that my future generations can appreciate the beautiful culture and hardwork of people around the world. People who dedicate their life in preserving such wonderful heritage needs to be paid much higher rather than fake designer brands in today's world.

As a tile guy, this video gave me more respect for the "difficult" expensive tile some of my foofoo customers buy and want me to set perfectly...it can't be done because it's meant to be imperfect

Moroccan architecture is sooo beautiful and very detailed, it's always amazing to look at

The Moroccan culture is full of art. Zellige is used to beautify floors, fountains and the inside walls of houses. All my family, back in Morocco, has it in their homes. Also, on the sealing, especially of living rooms, generally you find an other art which is called Gabs (plaster). Artists put plaster on the sealing and they "carve" it to create majestic designs. Rich families use wood instead of plaster, which gets also carved. Haven't been back for 8 years, missing my grandparents and my big family.

I hope that one day Morocco will create a category of national treasures of important artisans and keep it alive and treasured in this modern world we live in.

morocco has a very rich culture .not only a fascinating architecture but also food and traditional clothes . a country with a great history

my family and i are moroccans, more specifically amazigh. The proces of making zellige is such a complicated one, and that basically why its so expensive. My parents also made it, and they have retired from working there because they moved to another country. Sometimes, my dad still makes it for fun and places it in our house in morocco when we go there. He also helps the people who already are working on the tiles, and they always appreciate his help since he has been in the industry for years. Truly beautiful. DIMA MAGHRIB

There really is a beauty in human imperfection, especially nowadays with mass manufactured, and machine supervised "perfect" products. It always gives the product some sense of personalization, like a soul worked on it. The imperfections feel methodical, yet still chaotic. It's genuinely beautiful when you see anything with that quality.

This is a cross between a science and an art... and 100% beauty 😍

I guarantee almost 90% of us moroccan kids didn't give it much value cuz we thought it was something normal to have since all our house were decorated with zelije , its until you start growing up and then you realize the amount of time and craftsmanship that went into these tiles ,I remember mom telling me as kid they were put piece by piece and I'd try to count alll the pieces and eventually fall asleep, pure entertainment !

I learn something today, I'm from Croatia in my local dialect Saliž (Zellige) is the name for a tiled floor. Now I know the origin of that.

I have huge respect for artisans of this level no matter their background. Learning stuff like this takes a lot of dedication and time and that transcends nationality or culture. It is easy to look at differences between people or complain about "cultural appropriation", but we have so much common ground between us as humans that we should admire and celebrate.
