Brother and sister partners Karim and Nawal Motawi of Motawi Tileworks began making clay art tiles in their garage in the early 1990s. Karin is the trained ceramic artist and her brother is the operational guru who has also learned to develop glazes, make molds and fire kilns. Together they are creating what they call "New Arts and Crafts Pottery." Their names are Arabic, as their father is from Egypt.

Designs Include Stylized Symbols of Nature

Heavily influenced by Arts and Crafts designs of the 1920s and '30s, Nawal creates tile images such as tulips, fish, iris, acanthus leaves, birds, and cyclamen. Other designs include a peacock feather, roses, bellflowers, floating spheres, willows, songbirds and mountain landscapes. The colors used in glazes are usually muted and subtle.
