Comments:	Terry has been leading small group tours to Morocco for the last twelve years and together with his wife Pam they have been the Australian dealers for the internationally acclaimed Ait Khozema rug weaving Project. Following on from the first session on Turkey and the DOBAG Project, this second session will concentrate on Morocco and the Ait Khozema Project founded in 1997 by Austrian carpet and textile expert Professor Wilfried Stanzer. The Ait Khozema Project has revived the lost art of natural dyeing in carpet weaving in the remote Berber village of Amassine in the High Atlas Mountains. The project provides the entire village with an additional sustainable source of income and may help to stem the exodus from this austere but beautiful region around the extinct Siroua volcano.
