paining "Moroccan pottery"?
Well, im a very Creative person, mainly i paint on canvas. Recently i painted on glass (decorated a lamp)and id like to buy some pottery to paint on. i own several moroccan Ceramic pieces, but wanted to know if they use special paint. do they have to bake pottery in the oven after painting it by hand???or do they just paint and varnish?...
please give me some insight!
One thing I learned is that unbaked pottery (say, from Mexico) will shed it's outside paint very quickly. If the inside of the pot had been glazed, this wouldn't have happened. However, these were pots I planted flowers in directly so there was soil and frequent watering involved.
I'd suggest if you try to paint on glazed items, read the labels and see what they say; I do know there is paint available at craft stores that allows you to paint on glazed surfaces - however, I've never used it and don't know how durable it might be.

Chamomile Moroccan Essential Oil 1/3 fl oz: C $20.77 Wild or Moroccan chamomile is related to Roman chamomile. While the fragrance of these two are somewhat similar, wild chamomile is distinct enough to have earned its own place in perfumery. Wild chamomile has a fresh, herbal note and a rich, balsamic, sweet undertone which is very long-lasting. Used diluted in vegetable oil to condition and bring out highlights in blond hair. Also used in massage, skin care, inhalation, diffuser. Used extensively in perfumery. It blends well with woody fragrances like cypress, as well as citrus oils and musk scents like angelica. Aromatherapy benefits: soothing, nurturing. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Chamomile for 'External: Skin and mucous membrane inflammations, as well as bacterial skin diseases, including those of the oral cavity and gums. Inflammations and irritations of the respiratory tract (inhalations). Ano-genital inflammation (baths and irrigation). Internal: Gastrointestinal spasms and inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.' 'Actions: Antiphlogistic; Musculotropic; Antispasmodic; Promotes wound healing; Deodorant; Antibacterial; Bacteriostatic; Stimulates skin metabolism.' Modern clinical studies have confirmed that German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) and Roman chamomile (Anthemis nobilis) share many of the same constituents, and that chamomile does indeed live up to its traditional reputation. Chamomile contains numerous volatile oils and flavonoids which contribute to the herb's anti- antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, and muscle relaxing action, especially in the gastrointestinal tract. Essential and resin oils are volatile, fragrant materials extracted from the root, bark, wood, seed, fruit, leaf or flower of a single plant. Essential oils contain the odor, taste and medicinal properties of the plant itself, but in very concentrated form, with no base oil, alcohol, water or dilutants added. Steam distillation and cold pressing are used to extract the essential oil from the plant. Starwest Essential Oils are guaranteed to be 100% pure and undiluted. The distillation process occurs either at the site where the plants are grown or at a distillery. Each oil is tested for purity and strength using the gas chromatography method. Packaged in glass amber bottles to preserve the oils, the 1/3 ounce size has a fitted dropper insert and a tamper-evident, child-proof lid. The larger items are in amber glass or PET gallon containers, depending on the product. Starwest’s pure essential oils are suitable for use in aromatherapy, cosmetic preparation, healing and body care, potpourris and more. Essential oils are very potent and should always be used sparingly and in conjunction with a reliable reference. |

Moroccan Mint Green Tea, Box of 20 foil wrap tea bags: K $3.1 In the bazaars of Morocco in North Africa, tea is served on a ''''sinya'''' or three legged tray, usually made of brass, plus a smaller tray which holds three boxes, one for green tea, one for mint and one for sugar. The tea is prepared in a samovar which brews strong, highly concentrated tea. Then it is heavily sweetened with sugar and a touch of mint. The tea is then poured into a teapot (known as a Moroccan style pot) which is elongated rather than round with a longer spout. The tea is poured from this teapot held high in the air into small crystal glasses with brass handles. Moroccans enjoy the social ritual of making this sweet flavorful tea which goes well with their hearty lamb stew, couscous, nuts, apricots and tmar mahchi (stuffed dates). In the 1850s during the Crimean War when British ships were banned from trading in the Baltic by the Russians, the British sailed to new countries looking for buyers of their tea cargo. While visiting Morocco they sold a few chests of green tea, thus launching the tradition of tea drinking. Today upon entering a home or even a place of business, one is automatically given a glass of tea, a gesture of hospitality and welcome. Stash blends China Young Hyson green tea, spearmint and peppermint from Oregon, and freshly cut lemongrass for our fragrant and delicious Moroccan Mint green tea. Young Hyson green tea is a shiny, long, slender, twisted and curled leaf, which is rolled to hold its freshness. It brews a golden cup with a nutty rich flavor. The best grade is Young Hyson, lower grades are simply called Hyson. This tea is named after a rich merchant ''''Hyson'''', who was the first to sell this style of Chinese green tea in England. Our peppermint and spearmint are produced exclusively from top quality Oregon grown plants, which are considered the world''s finest. Oregon''s deep rich soil, moist cool winters and long dry sunny summers provide mint growers with the perfect conditions to produce superb mint. The mint is harvested in July and August and then dried. Stash purchases its mint leaf directly from Oregon farmers and it is shipped from the fields to our plant where it is packaged to protect its freshness and menthol content. Lemongrass is a tall tropical grass which has a wonderful fresh lemon aroma and flavor. This beautiful plant is found in India, tropical Asia, Africa, South America, Australia, and in Florida and California. Lemongrass lends a wonderful flavor to Asian cooking, especially Thai, Malay and Indonesian dishes. The essential oil in lemongrass, citral, gives lemongrass its distinctive citrus flavor. In fact, citral is often used as a substitute for lemon oil. This combination of top quality ingredients makes our Moroccan Mint green tea very refreshing and aromatic. It is a superb drink hot or iced. Try it Moroccan style, sweetened with sugar. . |

The Moroccan Soul (Hardcover) $68.93 Before French conquest, education played an important role in Moroccan society as a means of cultural reproduction and as a form of cultural capital that defined a person`s social position. Primarily religious and legal in character, the Moroccan educational system did not pursue European educational ideals. Following the French conquest of Morocco, however, the French established a network of colonial schools for Moroccan Muslims designed to further the agendas of the conquerors. The Moroccan Soul examines the history of the French education system in colonial Morocco, the development of French conceptions about the "Moroccan Soul," and the effect of these ideas on pedagogy, policy making, and politics. Fueled in large part by French conceptions of "Moroccanness" as a static, natural, and neatly bounded identity, colonial schooling was designed to minimize conflict by promoting the consent of the colonized. This same colonial school system, however, was also a site of interaction between colonial authorities and Moroccan Muslims, and became a locus of changing strategies of Moroccan resistance and contestation, which culminated in the rise of the Moroccan nationalist movement. Spencer D. Segalla reveals how the resistance of the colonized shaped the ideas and policies of the school system and how French ideas and policies shaped the strategies and discourse of anticolonial resistance. |
