Tiles for the Peace Walls are individually
hand-painted by children and adults from the
community where the wall is being built, either
at special tile-painting events, or at other
community events.
No experience is required - many tiles
have been painted by people who start out
proclaiming I'm not an artist -
I can’t paint!†The paints are
easy to work with, and an initial design can be
drawn on the tile in pencil - the pencil marks
burn off in the firing process.
In addition to individual tiles and
small groups of tiles, the group organizing the
wall usually selects one or more community
artists to paint larger
“soloist†groupings of tiles
which serve as centerpieces for the wall, and
which may represent one or more of the special
themes of the wall.
