The Workshop
Behind Blue Sky is a working relationship with a weaving cooperative in Tetouan, in northern Morocco. This is the workshop where the blanket is woven for Moroccan Corridor, giving a specific place to the hands behind the textile.
The artisans describe supplying their textiles to merchants in nearby Chefchaouen. Their account connects two places within the blanket’s story: the workshop where it takes shape, and the city through which many visitors come to know this family of textiles.
For us, knowing the workshop adds something that a colour or a collection name cannot offer alone: a relationship with the people who make the object.
Collector’s Note
We chose Blue Sky for its restraint. Its character does not depend on an elaborate motif, but on the relationship between bands of colour, their proportions and the woven structure that holds them together.
Look closely, and the broad impression of blue gives way to individual threads. Small variations bring the making into view. They are not a substitute for a well-finished piece, but part of what makes a handwoven textile worth attending to.
That balance is what we value: a clear composition, with room for the hand to remain present.
Chosen for its colour. Valued for the making behind it.
