Made by an African Women’s Co-operative, these art tiles are individually decorated; the traditional patterns scribed into the raw clay as it begins to harden.

To achieve their distinctive finish, the tiles are cooked in an open fire before being plunged into sawdust to smoulder.  In a final process, the women brew a strong liquid from local tree barks and leaves and brush it over the surface of the tiles as they cool.

African art tiles are available to special order from De Ferranti. For use on walls only.
