2x2 zellige tiles or zellij are an ancestral north African art. The tradition has been treasured from one generation to another and today only very skilled craftsmen can achieve these complex geometric mosaics works. Ideal for wall and floor coverings, but also for fireplaces, fountains or even swimming pools, Moroccan tile has inspired many architects and designers to create custom original works.


How we make our 2x2 zellige.


Zellige has been made in Morocco for over a 1000 years. Finding the highest quality clay is extremely important to produce the finest Zellige tile. The region of Fez has one of the best quality clays in Morocco.

The clay is soaked in water until it reaches a soft texture. Once the clay is soft enough to handle it is filtered by hand.

After filtering, a skilled craftsmen flattens the clay by hand into squares. This part is very important because the clay must be compact with no air bubbles in it.

Raw Zellige clay tiles are then allowed to dry outdoors, like adobe. Most tile production takes place in the summer, early fall and spring.

After the clay is shaped, molded and flattened, it is kept and stored in a cool dry place to be readied for a first bake.

All fired up from clay to kiln.


After the uncured Zellige tiles are dried another skilled craftsmen applies the colors to the top of the tile.

The Zellige tiles are now placed in natural, wood fired kilns. In traditional moroccan Zellige kilns, heat circulates unevenly, resulting in slightly different tones and colors for each tile. This imperfection makes Moroccan tiles so unique and beautiful.

The end product is a 2"x2" tile with uneven edges and remarkable texture, unlike any other tile on earth.

A tile apart what makes zellige so extraordinarily special.


Zellige making is considered an art in and of itself. This art is transmitted from generation to generation by master craftsmen. There are three craftsmen needed for Zellige. The first selects the tiles and then draws the shape desired and passes the tile to the next craftsmen.

The most important part of this entire process is the third craftsmen, also called the master craftsmen. He specializes in cutting the excess clay and performs precision cutting. The end results are an incredible variety of shaped pieces that are assembled to create intricate Zellige patterns. The possibilities are unlimited.

Help is on the way and it comes every day !
Format: Kindle
This book contains words that will encourage anyone wanting encouragement, just be willing to see what is set before you contains the Word Of God and His Words are filled with life for those who find them and health to all their flesh. This book really has been a help to my wife and myself. I have found that a word for a certain day spoke the very word of encouragement to me that I really needed that day and these words are more than just someone making suggestions. Perhaps they were written for someone you know or maybe even you yourself, who knows maybe they have come into your grasp for such a time of need as now ? Anyway you judge for yourself, just be encouraged.
