begins with Makra’s mission to support local crafts, uplift the community, and champion sustainability. Rooted in Egyptian heritage and a love for food, Makra creates cookware and serveware that pay homage to inspiring culture. The journey to find Egypt’s finest pottery artisans led to a partnership that brought Makra’s vision to life.
A Quest for Excellence in the search led to the sub-village of Qena Governorate near the historic capital of Ancient Egypt. After extensive research, the team discovered high-quality clay in the Red Sea mountains, marking the birth of Makra—a partnership between passionate artisans and Egypt’s landscapes.
Meticulous Craftsmanship where Makra’s process is highly skill-intensive.
Artisans manually grind and filter the clay, knead it with water, and let it rest before shaping. The intricate process on the pottery wheel, drying, handle attachment, trimming, smoothing, firing, glazing, and a distinct natural finish culminate in the unique and primitive appeal of Makra’s pottery. Makra’s traditional pottery is a perfect blend of heritage and innovation. Makra is dedicated to preserving and evolving the ancient art of pottery, aligning with the healthy cooking trend to ensure sustainability and health benefits.
