Karim and Nawal Motawi, Motawi Tileworks
The hallmark of Motawi Tile is its reflection of the classic style and craftsmanship of the historic Arts and Crafts potteries of the early 20th Century America. The sibling duo behind Motawi Tileworks is Karim and Nawal Motawi. With their team of talented artisans they create tile suitable for individual art pieces as well as installation.

Located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the studio works with locally produced clay and they hand mix the glazes from their own recipes. The polychrome tiles use a “raised line” technique while their bas-relief tiles are hand-dipped in glazed designed specifically for their variation.
