Story Behind the Art:
Nestled in the small Tunisian town of Nabeul on the Mediterranean coast, Le Souk Ceramique and its olive wood division Le Souk Olivique, employ some 50 plus local artisans full-time to create beautiful hand-made, hand-painted ceramic and carved olive wood pieces. The company is evolving to function as an artisan cooperative, completely owned and controlled by the skilled artisans themselves. At Le Souk Ceramique, we hand paint every piece entirely free-hand. We do not use any machinery or decals or stencils for our artwork. Legally, if most of a ceramic piece is painted by machine and just a small element is painted by hand, you can call it “hand painted”. At our studio, as you can see by our videos (at www.lesoukceramique.com), we paint every element by hand. We use a team approach that involves between 3 and 8 people depending on the design and how many colors and artistic elements are included. The entire production is performed by the artisans.
The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected. Note: Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen.
