From Khalid
I am a maâlem of zellige. The tiles I make are cut from a fired clay tablet, by hand, with a hammer. The geometry comes before the colour. I am not the right person to collaborate with if you want something quickly — even a small panel takes weeks because every piece is shaped one at a time. I am the right person if you want a panel that nobody else in the world has.
