Most do not own automobiles, but are able to walk to work due to the close proximity of their homes to the medina (center of town). Within the medina, there is a \'souk\' (market) where most of the artisans work. This is also the center of trade for each city. In speaking to a Moroccan artisan, one will find that he/she is very proud of their art form. If the father is an artisan then the son will almost always learn the father\'s trade. It is the responsibility of the son to look after his family and he inherits the secrets of the craft from his father or grandfather. \'Harfa\' means craft. It is important to keep the craft in the family. What is Worldstock?The handcrafted nature of this product will produce minor differences in design and sizing.
