Ceramic designs, hand-made with love, 100% food-safe. Her ceramic works are functional, strong and versatile designs that are 100% food safe and lead free.

Turabi is inspired by traditional Palestinian pottery where beauty radiates through natural colours with minimalist yet functional designs. This is combined with a love for Tatreez (traditional Palestinian embroidery) where fragments of embroidery patterns (each with its own story to tell) are carefully picked and hand-carved into the clay.Through Turabi, Inas designs and hand-builds all her pieces using a variety of earthenware. In order to minimise her impact on the world in which she lives, Inas reuses materials whenever she can and recycles all her unfired clay to create new pieces. Turabi’s collection is made up of a range of mugs, plates and serving bowls in various sizes. The collection also includes unique ceramic jewellery.

This week’s pick of inspiration: two black and white photographs of Palestinian women fetching water using ‘jarrahs’ from the well in Bethlehem, captured by Karima Abboud ( 1893–1940), a pioneering Palestinian photographer who is widely celebrated as one of the first female professional photographers in the Arab world. She often stamped her work in Arabic and English as “Karimeh Abbud - Lady Photographer”- The title of the first image is : ‘Bethlehem woman with jar seated under almond tree’ and the title of the second image is ‘A woman from Bethlehem, circa early 20th century.’

Unloading this week’s glaze firing, filled with lots of new bowls and plates, each hand-carved with a cypress tree motif and handmade using beige clay and my favourite speckled stoneware.

This kiln was fired to 1260°C, the final firing temperature for the clay, making each piece strong, durable and kitchen friendly.

Every piece is hand-painted using food-safe, 100% lead-free glazes, bringing a little Palestinian heritage, history and beauty to your everyday meals and special occasions. ❤️

These pieces will be added to our online shop tomorrow, Thursday! Keep an eye on our Ready to Ship section, as only a limited number will be available!

Today’s inspiration are three photographs of Palestinian women near Ramallah, carrying ceramic jarrahs (pitchers /pots) on their heads. The first slide is one of my favourite photographs and its original title is ‘Palestinian women peasants from the Jerusalem-Ramallah districts, circa 1900s. The second photograph is titled ‘Ramallah women going about their morning chores’, taken in the same period. And the original title of the third photograph is ‘Back from the local spring with water jars’, circa 1890s

Ramallah’s name translates to “Hill of God,” combining the Aramaic word for hill (ram) and the Arabic word for God (Allah). Residents of Ramallah and al-Bireh relied on household rainwater cisterns carved into the limestone rock, and from nearby springs located in the surrounding valleys. Collecting water from communal wells and springs using traditional clay jars (jarrah) was a daily ritual that was usually managed collectively by the local women.

Ever wondered how your ceramic pieces are packed before shipping? Here’s a little peek into the packing process. Each piece is carefully wrapped in two layers of plastic free bubble wrap and secured with 100% cotton string, with no plastic tape. Lots of paper is crumpled between the wrapped pieces to make sure nothing moves inside the box. And of course, lots of stickers reminding the person carrying the box to you to treat it with all the care they’ve got. :)

We use zero plastic in our packaging and ship worldwide from our ceramic studio in Amsterdam, always with track and trace. 💚♻️✅

Everything we do here is made with love. Thank you for your support and for being here. ❤️🧿❤️

Over the last ten years, I’ve been collecting an archive of photographs connected to the communal and daily ritual of collecting and gathering water from springs and wells in Palestine using ceramic clay jars, called jarrah in Arabic. 🏺

The jarrah was not only used to collect and store water, but also helped keep it naturally cool. Made from porous clay, a small amount of water evaporates through the surface of the vessel, cooling the water inside without refrigeration.

This photograph was taken near Saffad صفد in 1923. ❣️

Every week, I’ll share one of these photographs with you, so you can see some of the things that inspire my process and the thinking behind Turabi. This has also recently included material research into clay, but more on that soon ☺️❤️🧿
