Traditional Leather Tanning Pits in Fez Morocco Midmorning Sunlight Colorful Dyes

by Betty Gray

Bright midmorning sunlight illuminates the historic Chouara Tannery in Fez, Morocco, revealing a cluster of large stone vats filled with vibrant dyes in shades of indigo, saffron, and crimson. Workers stand at the edges of the pits, using long wooden sticks to agitate the leather hides submerged in the colorful liquids. The surrounding walls are lined with narrow windows where onlookers hold mint leaves to mask the strong odors. The enduring traditional craftsmanship of the medina, with the geometric patterns of the nearby architecture framing the industrial yet artistic process of leather production.
