Motawi Tileworks Show and Sale 2021
The Gallery Shop is honored to host a special Motawi Tileworks event!
Don’t overlook this opportunity to take home handcrafted Motawi treasures, concentrated in art nouveau, arts and crafts, and mid-century modern aesthetics. The Tileworks is also licensed to produce art tiles based on the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and Charley Harper.
Owner and Artistic Director Nawal Motawi began creating historically inspired tiles in her garage and selling them at the local farmers market. Demand for her work grew, and in 1992 Motawi formed The Tileworks. Located in Ann Arbor, Mich., The Tileworks makes handcrafted tiles as art pieces for both residential and commercial installations.
