The Process

Made by Hand

Six stages, all by hand. From clay to finished tile, in Fez and Iznik. Tap a step or watch it play.

Artisan shaping wet clay in a wooden mould
Step 01 of 06

Shape

Raw clay from the hillsides around Fez is kneaded, then pressed into wooden moulds by hand. Each tile starts as a single shape.

Tiles drying on the workshop floor
Step 02 of 06

Dry

Shaped tiles are placed side by side and left to dry in the Moroccan sun. Slow drying gives each tile its strength before firing.

Artisan smoothing a tile by hand
Step 03 of 06

Smooth

Once dry, each tile is flattened and finished by hand on a wooden bench. The maker's touch leaves the variations that define Zellige.

Artisan arranging glazed tiles ready for firing
Step 04 of 06

Glaze

Mineral pigments are applied tile by tile. This is where colour, tone, and the semi-transparent depth of Zellige come from.

Traditional kiln firing handmade tiles
Step 05 of 06

Fire

Tiles are stacked into wood-fired kilns. The glaze melts and vitrifies, fusing colour and clay. Temperature variation gives Zellige its tonal range.

Finish

Inspected, sorted by tone, packed for the UK. From Fez and Iznik to your project, every tile carries the mark of the hand that made it.
