Atelier Tigurarin

Atelier Tigurarin is a weaving workshop based in Timimoun, a remote oasis town surrounded by red sand dunes in the Gourara region of the Algerian Sahara. Here, this ancient craft has found new life as women gather to weave on traditional looms, their skilled hands maintaining techniques that might otherwise fade. The Atelier works towards the preservation of traditional Algerian textile crafts, providing artisans sustainable livelihoods. Working in partnership with Couleurs de Timimoun, the workshop is committed to using only natural dyes derived from plants and minerals, ensuring authentic colours that echo ancestral dyeing practices.
