Story & Impact

Zuak is a Moroccan art studio located in the Negev Desert of Israel. The studio was founded in 2017 by Hadasa Yitzhak Sharet, a business-social entrepreneur and designer who specializes in Moroccan art. After studying local art in Morocco, Hadasa has developed a unique technique that allows everyone to taste the magic of Moroccan art in a simple and fun way. A true authentic experience that brings people from different cultures together to form a language that weaves the edges between tradition and modernity, between East and West, and between religions.

Our mission is to create social impact through design and art. In our work, we bring to the center of the Israeli-Jewish culture a creative experience of Moroccan art originating from communities on the Israeli periphery (our home-base) that play a crucial role in the story of modern multiculturalism in Israel.

The workshop and the discourse we evoke on revetalized Jewish heritage and identities had a real impact on the many groups of young Jews who came to us from outside Israel. Zuak’s experience inspires them to be proud of their culture and heritage and find new ways to express it.

Zuak Studio was fantastic. We didn't know what to expect, but the Fellows really enjoyed it, including the boys, and it was really different from everything else.

Diller Teen Fellows, Boston

During a travel program, we participated in a Zuak workshop with 70 students from all over the United States. Even before the workshop began, we were moved by the beautiful kits. Following the fascinating and inspiring lecture on entrepreneurship and art relating to Israeli culture and identity, the group worked together on a project where everyone focused, collaborated, and got excited about the outcome. It was a unique slot, unlike anything else we had.

In the midst of covid-19, when everyone were in lockdowns at home, we were looking for something unique to send to our participants and leaders in Europe, Africa and South America. The Zuak - Moroccan art kit was the perfect Drishat Shalom from Israel. The kits were thoughtfully and carefully packed and brought light and color to our homes. Combined with the zoom workshop led by Hadassa, the experience was enriching & wonderful. We highly recommend!

Michal Chacham, Marom

All the Diller groups who visited Zuak came back with amazing feedback. They enjoyed both learning about the initiative, discussing culture and entrepreneurship and the hands-on experience of preparing beautiful Zuak tiles.

FAQ’s

What is the recommended age range for Zuak's workshops?

We have a unique technique that is suited to everyone. Ages 7 and up, although you'll be surprised to learn there were also 4-year-olds who fit right in. The oldest woman to create a Zuak tile was 98. Maybe you’ll break the record ?!

Are there any requirements for knowledge or experience in art?

Absolutely not! The secret of Zuak's technique is that it does not require experience or knowledge, the process itself is simple and fun. Upon completion, all participants feel satisfied with the result of their work, and they are proud of the unique tile they created.

What are the contents of the kits?

The kits include everything needed for the process of making Zuak tiles (tiles, Zuak stencils, brushes, paints, etc. ), as well as illustrated instructions and an instructional video.

What is the final product?

Our kits differ slightly from one another. The main product in every kit is an Israeli Zuak tile, which measures approximately 4x4 inches and is decorated and colored. Depending on the activities offered with the kit, the tile can be hung at home or attached to a wall of tiles as a community/team product.

Important information about allergies?

The tile is made from MDF (Medium density Fiberboard) covered with water-based acrylic paint. If you have allergies to any of these components, please refrain from direct contact.
