Sejnania was founded in 2012 in the wake of the Tunisian Revolution as an economic interest group for women potters in the Sejnane region of Tunisia. Zeineb Farhat, Project Manager of Sejnania, has developed skills training, marketing, product promotion, and advocacy, building the group from 35 to 100 participating women, ensuring a steady income for their families, and preserving Tunisia’s heritage. The craft of Sejnane pottery has been passed down from each generation of women for over 3,000 years.
