The weblog of Abbelkader - one of the master craftsmen of the Fez Medina in Morocco.
The central courtyard of Riad Zany was a major piece of work for Abbelkader and one for which he developed the special sand coloured plaster. The previous colour had been a the white limewash so popular in the early twentieth century. As the house was far older it was decided to take it back to its "roots" - hence the choice of a natural sand from local sand. The final effect is a warm and inviting space without the harsh glare of white plaster.

The Abbelkader touch is very beautiful. Appreciation for beautiful artistic work. For properties in morocco you can check morocco property, which have some beautiful art oriented houses for sale, rent and purchase.
I'm looking to travel to Morroco to learn and work with Tadelakt for a short period. I'd like to live in my van as I'll be travelling through Western Europe working as I go so won't be needing accomodation (the only learning provider I can find can't provide tuition only). Can anyone help?
