Traditional Moroccan Tajine Making

I took these pictures while visiting probably the oldest wood fire kiln in Morocco, where traditional Tajines are still made. The Tajine is the oldest Moroccan dish used for cooking.

Today and while most of Tajine makers in Morocco are using electric and gas kilns, you can still find places where the wood fire kilns are the only medium to bisque as well as to glaze Tajines...

Long days perfecting the shape of Tajine...
