Hello photography lovers. Today I wanted to share with you the tiles made in Iznik since ancient times.

Tile art is also called ceramics. Tile art; It is mixed with natural materials such as kaolin, sand, chalk and turned into dough. It takes a while for this dough to take shape and dry. The dough that achieves the desired dryness is primed. This priming process gives the dough a white appearance. The pieces are baked for one day in a very high temperature oven.
These shapes are then painted and decorated. Many items are made from tile.
