It is almost impossible for me to walk past a carpet shop in morocco without at least having a look<br />and<br />strange as it may sound,<br />possibly even stroking the odd beni, azilal or boujaad!!<br />Luckily I am planning a trip to Assilah and Tangier in the next few weeks - and I will most definitely be wandering around the souks and medinas to stock up on a few pieces for <a href="http://shouf.bigcartel.com/products" target="_blank">shouf!{look!}</a></h4>

Back in Tangier on the blog today,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with a tantalising view of this beautiful home in the medina that is available via <span style="color: #990000;"><a href="https://conciergeriemoderne.com/" target="_blank">La Conciergerie Moderne.</a></span><br />
There are so many different options and sites to choose from when looking for accomodation when you are planning a trip - and where you stay can make or break a holiday. La Conciergerie Moderne is a small Tangier based company that I have used and happily recommend - plus they have some beautiful properties on their list!<br />
A place like this could indeed make my holiday - what do you think?</div>

The ceramic designs of Tangier based designer Sarah were - if truth be told - one of the motivating inspirations of me starting my online shop <a href="http://shouf.bigcartel.com/products" target="_blank">Shouf</a>!. Spending time in Morocco brought me into contact with a lot of designers doing new and interesting work, as well as the more traditional and vintage designs and crafts that are normally associated with the country. Part of my vision was to showcase these contemporary designs - movement and life over the past year or so has made this a bit more difficult than I anticipated but I am still inspired by the innovation and design coming out of Morocco - many, like Ewwel, drawing on the rich tradition of craft and symbolism in the country and then giving it a more contemporary interpretation and design element.</div>

It is the work of Casablanca based artist and designer Fadwa Azhari . I was immediately drawn to it,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I started looking a little further. I loved the understated design and humour that runs through her work with its contemporary interpretation of some typically Moroccan images.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided it was time to get to know her a bit better here on the blog!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
#1 TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF AND MUSK STUDIO</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi, my name is Fadwa Azhari, I am 28 years old and live in Casablanca - I have always dreamed of having my own brand of stationary and posters ever since I studied at Art School . . . it was always at the back of my mind! In the meantime I started a blog as a creative outlet to escape the stress of my day to day work. This blog (<a href="http://musk-elil.blogspot.com/">musk-elil.blogspot.com</a>) was part journal, part creative laboratory - a place to post my writing, photography and other things I loved. I was often invited to write about events and exhibitions, and every time i did that I told myself that one day I would be in an exhibition myself! Then about a year and a half ago I was contacted by a friend who was looking for local designers for a concept store - this project never actually took off but it was the push I needed to get me started! And today Musk Studio is officially 1 year old!</div>

#2 WHAT IS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND YOUR DESIGNS?</div>
</h4>
<div>
<h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I draw inspiration from Moroccan culture in general, but always trying to reinterpret it with a fresh look. I grew in a family of Maallems (masters in Arabic) in sculpture and wood painting. I was always fascinated by the work of my grandfather (whom I did not get to know) and my uncles.I have not had the opportunity to learn this art, but it is perhaps for that reason that I like to revisit our traditions by transforming this heritage through my own vision. That being said I don't like to limit myself to a single aesthetic and I also let myself be carried by my inspiration and state of mind in the moment. For example my Moroccan Pop collection is quite fun, colourful. with lots of play on words and a mix of languages. While my second Moroccan Minimal Collection is much more minimalist and monochrome, very Moroccan meets Scandinavian design.</div>

#3 WHAT IS THE BEST PART OF THE DESIGN PROCESS FOR YOU?</div>
</h4>
</div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
The best moments are when I stumble across a word game and imagine how I can exploit and develop the concept visually - but unfortunately that doesn't happen every day! I also love to create small stagings of every day objects which I then photograph - as in the case of the AnaNas, Sabah, Lfol, Sukara and Hob posters - and yes, that is real pieces of sugar that I used!</h4>

<div>
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
I try to work as much as I can by hand even if the final process is digital. At the moment for example I am working with traditional patterns which are randomly chosen and then I rework it while experimenting with several techniques. I am also trying to learn lino cut as I find it graphically very interesting even if it is a difficult process to print.</h4>

I dont know about you, but the events of the past year, months, few days,<br />
have left me feeling a little overwhelmed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Suddenly things feel strangely out of kilter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a lot of anger and destruction around us - and this coming from a person who grew up in Apartheid South Africa and spent the greater part of my my 20's fighting for change.</div>

But right now I am indeed feeling overwhelmed . . .</div>

I wish I was closer to London so I could support some of the initatives that are part of this project - if you are, have a <a href="http://cookforsyria.com/" target="_blank">LOOK HERE</a> and see if there is anyone or anyplace that you could support. There is a list of participating restaurants where £2 for certain items on the menu will be donated to the charity.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With the thought in mind that "every little bit helps"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have decided to donate £2 of every jar of our Shouf! harissa sold this month to the fund - so you can enjoy the heat of our harissa knowing that the money spent is going to keep someone else warm this winter!<br />

<h4 style="text-align: center;">
We have just come back from a quick visit to Morocco and were lucky enough to be able to stay in <a href="http://tangerlocation.com/dar-ka/" target="_blank">Dar Ka</a> in the seaside medina of Assilah.</h4>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And believe me there is nothing finer than coming home to such a beautiful space after a busy day in the markets and souks.<br />The word "oasis" is thrown around a lot when describing places in Morocco<br />but there is a reason for that,<br />and Dar Ka certainly is a calm, contemporary oasis full of traditional details that place it clearly in context.</h4>

<h4 style="text-align: left;">

So, before the grey skies and dripping rain envelop me completely</div>

I have had a busy month on the home front with moving house taking up a lot of my time and energy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so not a lot of time for blogging . . .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But slowly the practicalities are getting done and moving aside for the pretty stuff,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and even more exciting - I have a small office/workspace.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I thought I would share some of the images I have earmarked for inspiration in this "room of my own"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The starting point - and hence the title of this post - is the quintessential blue of Jardin Majorelle.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I first met Rima when I moved to Assilah and she fast became both a reference point for where to find ANYTHING in Tangiers as well as a friend who provided an often much needed voice of calm in the madness that can be Tangiers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her art, like her is one of quiet patience as she interprets the lyrical shapes and forms of arabic calligraphy onto canvases and ceramics.</div>

Well, the term "collection" is possibly a slight exaggeration, but it is something I aspire to, and with this in mind I decided to make a start.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These three prints by Mouad are in fact that start - I received them minutes before I left on my last visit to Tangiers at a hastily arranged coffee shop assignation - all very exciting, involving numerous messages, messengers and motorbikes!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are now sitting unfurled and unframed on my office table.</div>

How would you describe your style?<br />My style is pure Moroccan Pop art and when we say Morocco, it is in fact a large melting-pot of cultures and traditions, from the Berber, the Arabs to Islam and international modernity.<br />So, you can say that my style is a mix of all these beautiful influences.<br />What are the techniques you use?<br />For me, techniques always evolve as your art matures! From graphic art using different inks on paper, to street art and painting on the walls of Medina of Tangier (North of Morocco), using stencils and spray paint. It is only three years ago that I started experimenting with digital art by mixing illustrations and images.</h4>

Tell us about the "Tarbouch Kid" artwork? What does it represent?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tarbouch Kid is a symbol for pure Berber-Arab-Muslim personality. This kid represents me in so many ways, he represents the community. Sometimes people ask “Why he is sad?” but in reality he is not sad at all; maybe he is shy, or simply tired because life in our society is hard. Also, kids are never two-faced, they always say the truth! Technically, the character was taken from a smart perspective and angle: his clothes are simple with his red Fez Cap and in the background, a Zellige mosaic.</div>

Hop across to Gatwick and fly to Tangiers on Friday, and you can be back on Sunday evening ready for that weekly routine again.</div>

And while it may not be a huge amount of time, a weekend getaway that takes you to another country and continent in 4 hours has got to be worth it?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So with the scheduling of Air Arabia Maroc flights on a Friday and Sunday I decided to give some thought to what would I do if I had a fleeting 48 hours in Tangiers?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all decide where you want to stay! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the medina, in the kasbah, hotel, riad??</div>

I think for first time visitors my advice would be to head up to the kasbah - The kasbah gives you a feel of the exotic without the chaos . . . there feels like there is a little more light and space, and considering you don't have a lot of time, it will also be a bit more relaxing!</div>

Things start pretty late in the evenings in Morocco - so no need to worry that you will be late for dinner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are feeling intrepid head straight down the hill towards the Grand Socco and the Medina where there is no shortage of places to eat and sights to immerse yourself in.</div>

A lot of the Moroccan experience is about sitting and sipping a tea or coffee and watching the day go by - so if you are in that frame of mind and it is a lovely sunny day, head all the way back up the hill (you can get a petit taxi but actually central Tangiers is pretty walkable) and kick back with a mint tea at the famous Cafe Hafa.</div>
