moroccan tiles

Posted on August 2, 2012 by danielle | 2 Comments

Today part two of my series about tiles (you can see part one here). Moroccan tiles have been used for thousands of years in Morocco, France and Spain. Each tile is traditionally handcrafted by artisans using local materials.

Tile making is considered an art in itself. The art is transmitted from generation to generation by maâlems (master craftsmen). A long training starts at childhood in order to master exceptional skills.

Moroccan tiles are well known for their beautiful patterns and colors. The Royal Design Studio make stencils inspired by Moroccan tiles (see image above).

The most current form of the zellige (=tile) is the square. Other forms are also possible in composition: the octagonal combined with a cabochon, a star, a cross, etc.

I am thinking about getting some beautiful plates and make these into a wall arrangement in our kitchen area. To get inspiration I searched online and found these images that show various ways of grouping plates together. Now I only have to find plates which fit really nicely together!
