MEET THE MAKERS
Rkiya Ibchine
I am married and a mother of five sons, who are all enjoy studying dermatology because it is my husband's profession. I work hard in my association because I want my children to have a bright future. I have experiences in weaving and sewing and focus on continuous training in this field. I would love to innovate more designs and grow our traditional handcraft industry. In my spare time, I take care of my children well and visit family and relatives. I love reading magazines and do search online.
