Motawi Tileworks is a ceramics studio based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Nawal Motawi, owner and artistic director of The Tileworks, graduated from the University of Michigan’s Stamps School of Art & Design and made tile in her garage before founding the company in 1992. Nawal is still the primary designer, and loves to draw inspiration from great American and European designers like Charley Harper and Frank Lloyd Wright and adapt them to tile, as well as crafting her own designs like the perennial favorite Pine Landscape.

Tiles are typically in stock and are delivered in 7-10 days.

First, tile designs are etched into plaster molds. Clay is pressed into the mold, trimmed and bisque-fired in the kiln. Each tile is then glazed by hand and returned to the kiln for a final firing. With the intricate art tiles, Motawi glazers employ the centuries-old Cuenca technique, carefully filling glazes into the “basins” created by thin, raised lines in the clay.

Tiles are suitable for framing, hanging, and installation in your backsplash, shower, or fireplace surround. In almost any environment they will last a lifetime, making them a perfect gift!
