Zellige making
The craftsmen, that start their training at a very young age to acquire the perfect skills, make the tiles of terra cotta from Fez, only from Fez. After making two rough versions, the zelliges are being baked the first time, then painted or colored and covered with enamel before baking them the second time. The ovens are very primitive but up till now there are no modern ovens that deliver the same quality of zelliges.
Zellige cutting
Finally the edges of the small tiles are being cut in a special radius, to make it possible placing the tiles in the right (tight) position on wall or floor.
