What is a Rifraf pattern?

The Rifraf shape was first conceived in Andalusia (modern-day Southern Spain) and was further developed in Morocco.

Master Craftsman of 50+ years, Ustadh Bachir Seffar provides powerful methods to construct 5 different patterns and 11 designs inspired by the Rifraf Family. Whilst some are traditional patterns in the Alhambra, others are Seffar's inventions. This shape promises versatility, delight and surprise.
