Fatima Oukhlu
Fatima was born in Ait Hamza during the 1960’s. She was born into a poor family and never went to school because when she was younger only boys could attend school. Instead of school, Fatima learned how to weave and sold her weavings to notable people in her village and also sold rugs from time to time to cover the costs of food and clothing for her family. When she married, she furnished her new home entirely with rugs that she created by hand. Since the family she married into didn’t have a flock of sheep as many families did at the time, she continued to weave to help support her family. She joined Association Tithrite in order to generate more income from her work, and she has been at the association since it began.
This carpet the features a mix of both the Hanbal and Tazrbit styles. The Hanbal creates the flat-weave parts of the carpet and the fringes are created from the pile knots tied into the carpets. This detailed bohemian style rug woven using traditional looms can accent any room.
