The creation of Persian tiles began about 1200
A.D. After conquering Timur, the people of
Persia learned from Chinese pottery that many
colors could be added to one tile. By 1500 A.
D., the colors of Chinese pottery became an
integral part of Persian tilemaking and unique to
the region. Persian tile decorating reached its
zenith in the 18th and 19th centuries. Tiles are
used tin two different ways for art. The first is
the mosaic - a design created by gluing bits of
different colored tiles together. The second, in
Persian, is called Ghlami - a technique where
several colors are painted onto one tile with a
brush. In this exciting cultural lesson students
learn to create Persian Ghlami tiles using
underglazes and/or a majolica technique.
