Zillij<br />

A highly trained zillij carver sits at his station and<br />

chips off the specialized design from a glazed tile<br />

with a sharp chisel pointed hammer<br />

The zillij Master works from a penciled design on<br />

the cement floor, taking each shape and color and<br />

places them face down on the cement<br />

When the design is complete, a wooden form will<br />

be secured around the panel, and cement will be<br />

poured all over the back. When dry the panel will<br />

be turned over and additional grout if any needed<br />

will be applied.
