Tunis Village is located in Fayoum.

Tunis Village’s Historical Background

It was founded in the 1960s by two famous Egyptian poets who encouraged the locals to become artists, but it is most well-known today for the arrival in the 1980s of Evelyne Porret, a Swiss woman and Potter who opened her Pottery studio with her husband and quickly turned it into a pottery school to teach all of the local children how to make pottery items and encourage them to become budding Potters.

The Tunis Village is located in Fayoum, Egypt. It is still in operation today, with all of the youngsters in the community continuing to make pottery and earn money to support their families.
