The Story Behind XCeramic: From My Father’s Workshop in Fez to Your Home

Hi, I’m Othmane Belrhol, the founder of XCeramic. Thank you for being here. I’d like to tell you where this shop comes from.

  • Where it all began

My story starts with my father. In 1996, he opened a handmade workshop in the old city of Fez, one of the oldest centers of Moroccan craftsmanship. When I was a child, I went straight to his shop after school every day. It was my escape, my second home. I watched the artisans work and fell in love with this art long before I understood what it meant.

  • Learning the craft

As I grew up, I learned the techniques and the whole process, step by step, and began making beautiful pieces with my own hands. Every piece takes patience, skill, and care, and I learned to respect each stage of it.

  • Carrying on his legacy

When my father passed away, I decided to take the work seriously. I started working in the workshop full time to continue what he built. It was a hard time, but it gave me a purpose: to keep his heritage alive.

  • Why I opened XCeramic

Today I’ve opened this shop to share this art with the world. XCeramic xceramic.etsy.com, is more than a store. Every purchase helps keep this tradition alive and supports the artisans who work in the workshop, so their skills and their craft can continue for the next generation.

  • What I make

At XCeramic, I make handmade sinks, each one crafted in Fez using the same techniques I learned in my father’s workshop. Because every sink is shaped and finished by hand, no two are exactly alike. Your sink becomes a piece of art and a piece of Moroccan heritage in your home.

Thank you for supporting a small family business and the artisans behind it. Explore the collection xceramic.etsy.com, and leave a comment to say hello. I’d love to hear from you.

With gratitude,

Othmane
