Die Gärbereibecken von Fes - hier werden Tierhäute noch so bearbeitet und gefärbt wie vor hunderten von Jahren.
[ Chouara Leather Tanneries · Fes El Bali ] · Numerous stone vessels filled with a vast range of dyes and various liquids spread out like a tray of watercolors. · Dozens of men, many standing waist deep in dyes, work under the hot sun tending to the hides that remain soaked in the vessels. · Hides are first soaked for two to three days in a mixture of cow urine, quicklime, water, and salt. This caustic mixture helps to break down the tough leather, loosen excess fat, flesh, and hair that remain on them. · The hides are then soaked in another set of vats containing a mixture of water and pigeon poop, which contains ammonia that acts as softening agent and allows the hides to become malleable so they can absorb the dye. · The tanner uses his bare feet to knead the hides for up to three hours to achieve the desired softness.

·
After the preparation process that takes alone several days, the hides are placed in dying pits containing natural vegetable dyes, such as poppy flower for red, indigo for blue, henna for orange, cedar wood for brown, mint for green, and saffron for yellow.
·
Other materials used for dyeing include pomegranate powder, which is rubbed on the hides to turn them yellow, and olive oil, which will make them shiny.
·
This is all achieved manually, without the need of any form of machinery, and the process has barely changed since medieval times.

Around the Chouara Tannery
The Chouara Tannery is one of the oldest tanneries in the world. It is in the middle of the medina of Fès and yet it is impossible to find. The best way to find this place to go up one of the shops which surround the tannery itself. If you can't find them, as long as you are in the vicinity, they will surely find you. You may need to give the staff some dirhams to let you go up to their roof deck to see the tannery. They will give you a good overview of what the tannery is all about and of course ask you if you are interested to buy any of their stuff. I honestly don't know how much these things should cost and it is maddening to be asked back how much am I willing to pay for them when I asked first.

Chouara Tannery Artisans
The Chouara Tannery is something you don't see everyday. The tannery is operated by a cooperative which is owned by the families which live around the tannery. The tannery was set up in the 11th century and it is one of the oldest ones in the world. They still use their time and tested processes to produce leather. It was a weekend so I didn't get to see the tannery in full action. I was told that the artisans who are working that day just want to finish their stuff so they can go home. I managed to gain access to the roof tops of one of the shops which surround the tannery.
