Berber Creations Launches 2-Year Weaving Program to Train the Next Generation of Moroccan Artisans

Berber Creations, a leading producer of Moroccan handmade rugs, is proud to announce the launch of a 2-year weaving training program aimed at teaching new generations of artisans the timeless craft of Berber rug making.

Preserving Morocco’s Rich Weaving Heritage

Berber rug weaving is a centuries-old tradition, deeply rooted in Moroccan culture and artisanal heritage. With modern life drawing younger generations away from rural communities, this invaluable craft risks fading.

Our new program ensures that the knowledge, techniques, and artistry of Berber weaving are passed down, keeping the tradition alive for future generations.

What the Training Program Offers

The 2-year formation is designed to combine traditional methods with professional standards, giving students the skills to create rugs that meet international quality expectations. The program includes:

  • Knot-by-knot weaving techniques used in Beni Ourain, Beni Mrirt, Azilal, and Boujaad rugs

  • Wool preparation and natural dyeing methods

  • Loom setup and rug finishing processes

  • Design reading and creation of traditional Berber patterns

  • Quality control practices for rugs destined for global markets

Each student will gain hands-on experience in producing high-quality Moroccan rugs, ensuring that every piece maintains the authenticity and craftsmanship that Berber Creations is known for.

I am a Berber woman from Morocco, deeply rooted in the rich tradition of rug weaving passed down through generations. Inspired by the expertise of my grandmother and mother, who dedicated years to mastering the art of weaving, I have cultivated a profound appreciation for Moroccan rugs. Driven by a passion to preserve and share our cultural heritage, I have created a website to inform customers about the intricate craftsmanship and symbolism behind Moroccan rugs. Through this platform, I aim to celebrate the artistry and tradition woven into each rug, inviting others to explore the beauty and history of our craft.
