Description
English artist William DeMorgan created tiles that were dust-pressed flats, the
designs looking like charcoal sketches overlain with watercolor paintings.
While a very different technique from Motawi's own raised-line "cuenca" style,
this Sunflower tile is one of three vertical floral pieces adapted from his work.
The Tudor Rose and Carnation tiles complete the collection.
Actual tile size: 3-13/16" x 7-13/16"
Tiles are 5/8" thick and have a notch at the back for hanging.

Vendor Info
Motawi Tileworks:Nawal Motawi founded Motawi Tileworks more than 20 years ago. A University of Michigan art school graduate with a restless spirit and an interest in applied arts, Nawal moved to Detroit to learn tilemaking at Detroit’s storied Pewabic Pottery. She returned to Ann Arbor after a few years and began making her own tiles in a garage studio and selling them from a stand she rented at the local farmers’ market.
Today, Nawal is still designing and making tiles in Ann Arbor. Her companies, Motawi Tileworks and Rovin Ceramics, employ more than 30 people. Her company utilizes Toyota-Style Production and practices an intentional workplace culture.
Recently, Motawi tiles have been featured in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and Dwell Magazine.
Why Motawi Tile?
