Mosaic

Pubblicato: 04.02.2023

In Morocco, but especially in Fes, many beautiful mosaics are displayed on buildings, columns, and fountains. During our city tour today, we not only saw many mosaics, but also visited a place where they are made. First, clay is shaped into tiles, which are glazed after the initial firing and then coated with enamel and fired for a third time. The fired tiles are then broken into the corresponding shapes with a hammer and packed into bags. The mosaic installer then lays the mosaic on the ground upside down (sometimes mistakes happen - see last picture), it is then poured with plaster and attached to the wall as a panel. Some of the mosaics in Fes are several hundred years old, while others are still made using traditional methods.
